The humming may be coming from the fuel pump for a couple seconds. As far as the starter not engaging, I need you to check a few things. You will need a helper. Have a helper turn the key to the start position while you check to see if there is power to the smaller wire on the starter. It should have 12v. Is that something you can do? Also, let me know if the battery is good.
