Finished all the wiring in Odie, Purchased a 50 amp panel, 50 amp transfer switch, 55 amp converter and panels from a 2000 motorhome that was parted out.
After installing it all I noticed the converter was not acting right so I purchased a new 60 amp.
Now it all works like a top.
Question is. The transfer switch clicks when its pluged in, (Guess it reads the current and switches to that side.)
but I notice a very slight hum coming from the transfer switch.
Is this normal?

Yes
Joe,
In my experience it is. Some are quieter than others, but even I can hear most of them.
They are really designed for stationary applications and so would not have the sounding board of the coach. They have to be able to sense and detect both the voltage and frequency of the incoming power to prevent false tripping.

I kind of thought that. but never had a transfer switch. it really is rather quite but if i listen close i can hear a slight hhum.. thought about installing a rubber pad under it. to see if it would help.Only time it might bother me if its real quite and i am trying to sleep. might hear it then. j
