I had a similar situation. Unfortunately, the problem wasn't with the pole.
It was some neighbor's appliance whose hash was being re-radiated from the
pole. Neither I nor the power company could ever figure it out.

However, if it is something loose on the pole, you may be able to verify it
by whacking the pole with a sledge hammer (seriously). If that makes the
noise start and stop, you can prove it to the electric company guy when/if
he comes out.

Good luck. Noise is the frustrating bane of the HF op.
