We have a few pylons not that far away from us & one thing I have noticed is on a damp or rainy day when I take the dog out for a walk that way all you can hear is them crackling & popping & it can be rather loud at time which I find a bit un-nerving TBH

Apart from what has already been said i'd look to if in high winds etc a cable was to snap it wouldn't come anyway near the house or land of the property

IF a cable were to snap/break the power would be cut off before it got anywhere close to anything at ground level... sleep easy.
