I dont know am I posting in the right place or not, but I'm trying to find the effect of (if any) placing a 24 VDC control system in a station right under High voltage power transmission line (when I say High voltage I dont have figure, but I can tell you that if I'm standing under/close to the poles I can feel the magentic waves and hear that noise)

I know this question might looks incomplete but I'm trying to find different senarios for my situation.

If you can feel it, you have a valid concern for sure. The human body is a poor gauss meter, so if it is causing a sensation at all, it is likely very strong. Look into EMI (Electron Magnetic Interference) shielding for your enclosure(s) and be sure to use shielded cable.
