Yes, that's what I'd assumed that you meant. If instead it was the transformer vibrating to cause a hum(which all transformers do to some extent), it could be excessive because of the 50Hz AC or some DC polluting the supply and increasing the vibration. Again, if the power supply section of the sub amplifier is working correctly, electronic hum should be at an inaudible level.
