Like Arh is asking above, is this a really bad hum/noise or is this just the tiny hum you might get from a floating input?
When 60 Hz hum becomes really bad, it can create a buzzing hum. The 60 Hz wave is so strong that it clips off at the peaks and creates many new frequencies that are higher order harmonics of 60 (120, 240, 480, 960 Hz, etc.).
If this is a pretty loud hum, then it sounds like you have either had a big electrolytic cap in the power supply going bad, or there is a short in the amp that is so bad it is bleeding the power supply down. If it is an internal short, then it will smell bad and be overheating. If it is just an electrolytic filter cap, it might slightly smell acidic, but won't be overheating that bad.
Anyway, sounds like she needs an overhaul.
