Do all toroidal transformers hum?

Help Gurus,

When I put my ear (about 2 inches from the top)to my integrated amplifier, I can hear a faint hum from both the transformers. Can't hear anything when I move my ear away from the amp. Is this normal?

There are a could of circuits floating around the Internet. Its easy enough for anyone with decent DIY skills to accomplish, just remember you're working with electricity. http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-5/191557/2020464 .
