-😂Agreed!! Sounds like the start to great comic book "Modular Hero"
-the hum is from one of the distortion modules, i use for gain and wavefolding. I consider it part of the aesthetic. Awkwardly enough i perceived it within the context of a radio/television (minus the news in the background) and a clock ticking like Clark Kent or Bruce Wayne (90s batman) in office until suddenly...
-Any ideas for making it sound more intentional? or an example of someone who did it in an intentional manner would help as well.
-I think the interesting thing about this jam's theme is that everyone is creating music that subconscious represents the hero in their minds eye. And i must admit to being a big fan of the Fightclub/ batman-esk/ madmax anti-hero architype.

hmmmm in terms of ideas...
- have it cut in and out?
- layer it with other 'noise' - radio static/radio dial sweeps/distoerted radio-y vocals/satellite bleeps and bloops?
- What made it especially obvious that it was a result of a noisy module/hum was that when the bass comes in it 'ducks' the noise, and it fades back in - making it clear that it's not an additional ambient layer on the composition.
As I don't do much live/dawless stuff, the solutions above are maybe more acheivable in a DAW. Not sure how'd you'd go about some of those ideas on your rack...
