We have underground utilities here too. There is an underground transformer
on my front property line. The antennas are in the back of the house. There
is a parkway below our back yard with above ground power lines. The dipoles
are for the most part perpendicular to the power lines. The noise is pretty
constant, not a lot of popping.

I'll try and attend this weekend's local HAM meeting and see if there is
anyone there with local experience in snooping. I haven't a clue on how to
do this.

I <could> call the power company but wouldn't even know what to tell them at
this point. I'm not sure they just send someone out if you complain about
generalized noise.
