Strong humming noise in the room..
Got assigned a lower floor room with rather strong humming noise. FD says all sold out nothing else available... any practical way to complain - this is pretty annoying especially since they this ski resort charges many hundreds $/nt (thankfully i am using award nt)..

I had a similar issue a couple of months ago. To create some evidence I used a 'db meter' app on my phone and showed it to the staff. In this case the noise disappeared the next day. The way the hotel handled the various issues over numerous stays made me change my booking and stay at another property.
In my case I did not expect any compensation so I cannot help with that part.

Curious what app you used? Looks possibly better than the decibel app I have on my Samsung.

Yeah, no surprise there. Smart properties have ones that can be turned completely OFF using the temp dial. Those that can’t, well they get unplugged by me. A fly on the wall would see me (pretty big guy) heaving and straining to move the 400 lb dresser / TV stand thing to get to the plug.
