SimpliSafe Video Doorbells causing buzzing / humming at doorbell chime

I installed two Video Doorbells and all was working fine except there was a very loud buzz/hum coming from the doorbell chime box inside the house.

I called Customer Support and they said they would send me a "Chime Connector" which would solve the problem.  I received and installed the Chime Connector and the buzzing/humming decreased in volume but did not go away and it is still unacceptably loud.

Has anyone had the buzzing/humming issue and, if so, have you found a way to eliminate it?

Thanks for your help!

Would your doorbell happen to be digital? Our Video Doorbell Pro is compatible with analog doorbells only.

No, it is definitely NOT digital.  It is an analog NuTone doorbell chime from 1989.

I have spent over an hour with two different customer service folks on your help line and no one has any ideas how I can remedy the situation.  

There is a constant low hum coming from the chime unit which never happened until I installed the Simplisafe Doorbells.   It is a little annoying but not that bad when the system has not been active for a while but the noise intensifies significantly any time the doorbell is rung, or the camera is triggered either manually via the app or by motion detection.

@ milicia, did any of the reps offer to send you the nc connector kit to address the hum? If not, send email and they will respond on Monday.

Is the "nc connector kit" different from the "chime connector"?

As stated in the original post, I did receive the "chime connector".
