But there seems to be doubt about whether the noise in Auckland is actually recordable, although I can record the noise that my friends and I hear. My neighbours in reinforced concrete houses say they don't hear the noise. The OP quoted "Professor Tom Moir" (although I don't think he's a professor) and his recording, but the following article says that he didn't succeed in recording the noise. Auckland has plenty of potential all-night noise making machinery. I suspect that there are a number of culprits over many kilometres. http://www.smh.com.au/news/technology/mystery-noise-is-a-real-humdinger/2006/10/24/1161455714733.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hum Sufferers" group.
