you need to match the average sound level for a better comparison. As it stands now:
original: avg -14.19dB peak -4.42db
Yuval: avg -14.17dB peak -2.51dB
Timbre: avg -10.19dB peak 0dB
In other words the "Timbre" version was normalized to 0dB...

Well Timbre and Yuval,
Now it's a kind of a dare (see text). Let's see what the users will tell us in he next year ;-)

From the other electrical noises on the recording it sounds like the mains-hum was being picked up via induction, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_interference rather than sound being picked-up via the microphone. Putting the recorder in a kitchen foil wrapper may help in such situations to shield the wiring from the EMI , taking care not to short-circuit anything with the aluminium foil.

Hi Timbre and Yuval,
I just received a cleaned version of the recording by Yuval. Thanks for that and thanks Timbre for the tip.
The source of the 50Hz noise was an enormous OLD transformer (5kW) hanging in the tower.
Yuval I will upload the cleaned version of you soon.
Thanks again.

The mains-hum buzz (50Hz + harmonics) can be reduced.
