Among DCC enthusiasts, it is a well known industry lie that you can run DC engines on a DCC layout. As you have discovered, the hum - which can vary from engine to engine - can be objectionable and at worse, worrisome. I wouldn't hesitate to run a DC engine on a DCC layout over a short term, lets say 6 months, but over the long term, I wouldn't want to do it.
