Not sure of the solution, but he may not be aware he is humming or that he
is humming loud or even aloud!

Some people find it hard to hear the inner voice in their head i.e. cannot
read 'in their head' as opposed to students who read aloud because it helps
them comprehend better what they are reading.

 When I read it is with actual character voices or worse still a whole
Margery Allingham/Campion read to me by the guy who plays Campion on TV.   I
might as well have got an audio book.

For others there is nothing like that level of detail/input in much the same
way as I struggle to visualise.  So he may not be autistic at all and either
way someone should have spoken to him.  If he was there on his own he must
have some level of independent skills and being a chicken I would have
probably have asked one of the staff to have a word with him, if it was
really bothering me.
