Can't help about the teeth, nor do I have any golden words about the pipe noise except to take it seriously -- apparently annoying constant noises are one of those things that one doesn't get used to, they just keep on being annoying.
Maybe I do have an idea. If this is noise being generated by a pump and transmitted to your room through a metal pipe that that pump is connected to, then putting a short length of rubber hose between the pump and the pipe will help prevent the trnsmission of the sound.
If, on the other hand, the pipe is vibrating due to changes in water pressure or the flow of water, that won't do any good.
I noticed your comments about bleeding air out of the system. I don't know about *your* system, but my understanding is that heating systems that need to be bled should normally be bled every year, that some air gets in as a normal consequence of operation, that sometimes they need to be bled several times to be fully effective, and that it's a simple process that the homeowner or renter should become familiar with, not requiring a plumber. All that said, I have no idea if it has anything to do with your humming.
