Damaged BT(?) cabinet - where to complain?

Morning
There's a green cabinet not far from me which appears to be faulty - giving off a very loud, constant buzzing sound. Who do I contact in the first instance, i.e. I've no idea if it's BTs or not? Couldn't see any obvious link on the BT contact us section of the website.
Cheers

Dial 151 from your phone... edit (or 0800 800 151)
A green cab though could be anything - could be BT, Virgin, or even if its large enough a power sub station!0 -
Sounds more likely to be some kind of sub transformer or something to do with power. I doubt BT lines would give off a buzzing noise.0

BT cabinets are normally marked as such.0

Any cabinet with a small mains transformer could buzz. Probably cable rather than BTSounds more likely to be some kind of sub transformer or something to do with power. I doubt BT lines would give off a buzzing noise.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
It'll have a label on... I think I rang BT last time there was one unlocked near us.0

Get a screwdriver and hammer and open it. Try swopping over some wires and see if the buzzing stops.

It'll be a cable cabinet, unless there's a bumble bee inside.;) To confirm look at the joint box beside on pavement .0

Thanks all
Am I right in thinking a really loud buzzing noise isn't normal from them?0 -

How will looking at the joint box confirm if there's a bumble bee inside? For that you'll need my hammer and screwdriver again!0
