Okay so I wasn't paying attention and it overheated and ever since I've gotten home this constant humming is going on and it won't start. Trying to figure out exactly where it's coming from

The humming sounds can be a low battery, doe the engine crank over? If not I would try a new battery. Can you please upload a video of the problem so we can see it? Once it’s fully cold, check the coolant level and look for puddles, a split hose, or coolant sprayed around the engine. If it won’t turn over after cooling, or coolant has emptied out, have it towed rather than attempting to drive it. A short recording of the humming would also help

Sorry about that, that was such a typo. I'm going to upload a video now. And yes I'll replace the battery with a new one and it's still doing the same thing

To me it seems like the humming is coming somewhere from underneath the battery tray, but there's a metal tray underneath the plastic one and so I really can't get access to there very easily. But to me it kind of seems like maybe that's where the sound's coming from. I'm really not sure

It cranks but won't start ,and the humming noise is constant.Iv changed relays around and even with all of the relays out the hood humming continues.It starts as soon as it gets power even with key out of ignition.
