Constant hum in ground floor apartment

Hello,

We live in a ground floor apartment. When our upstairs neighbour is in (they usually live abroad), a loud hum is audible in all areas of our flat. She did have an electrician come and investigate, which he said the pressure had dropped, however it hasn’t helped. I wonder what it could be / how to go about getting it fixed quickly. Thank you!
