How do I record irritating "humming" bakground noise?

Hello,
Do anyone know where I can find good instructions on how to record background noise, and how to get presentable data from the recorded files?
I have a very irritating "humming" background noise in my apartment 365 days per year. The noise can be compared with the sound from a very big high voltage transformator.
I have installed Audicity 1.2.6 on my laptop, and recorded some testdata with the inbuilt microphone. I do get the noise on files, but I don´t know how to use Audicity to present redable information, like Hz, db, amplitude and so on. I would like to record the noise in the best possible way, so the recorded files can be used like "evidence" in dialogs with the municipal, who I intend to contact for help with locating the sorce of the noise.
The file "test2.aup" is a short example of the recorded noise.
Many Thanks!
