(1) Strange Noise In Barton Road
NCRA has received the following enquiry from a member in Barton Road :
I was wondering if anyone would know what the high pitched noise is that keeps happening outside, we keep going out in the garden to try and detect where it is coming from but can't seem to see, sometimes it is happening really early in the morning and tonight it was going off in the evening?
A member of our committee believes that
the noise is from a high pitched siren and that it may be coming from a
factory somewhere along Maidstone Road. He says that It sounds like
gas pressure being released during a production process and continues
for several minutes. It happens on an irregular basis and at odd times
during the day, sometimes during the early hours of the morning as
happened recently and is quite disturbing, especially when trying to
sleep.
Whilst this does not fit into our normal remit, I am
happy to help. If anyone has any definite information regarding this
noise, I would be happy to pass it on to our member who has raised the
query.
