buzzzzz, where did i go wrong?

buzzzzz, where did i go wrong?
I've done similar circuit and grounding uprades.The key as others have mentioned is your using the new rods to supplement your existing service ground lowering the overall resistance.Spacing of the rods is important,they should be at least six fee... 
How do you "downgrade"?
