Hi I would like to agree and add my name to the list. The low drone is quite unsettling as I find myself wondering the streets at night trying to figure out the source . It breaks the quiet peaceful dead of night and is unwanted .

Again it seem very much wind and weather dependent, but is quite a drone, with pneumatic 'undertones' now it seems as well. In line with James' forwarding of the comments and complaints to the City Health Officer, I would like to suggest for those at all, even slightly aggrieved by this issue to consider contacting Ms Bettie Leedo at the Council on 021 514 4125. Ms Leedo, and her colleague Ms Adonis can also arrange for any affidavits about this to be collected.

If you don't mind, all the comments will be forwarded to the City Health officer who will be able to followup with the Mill's management. Any others affected or concerned?

Yep, too many of us have grown accustomed to it and only realises it in the winter Northerly wind conditions, but is there 24/7. Your observations are right, but not necessarily louder as nothing get's turned up or extra's switched on, its just the presence of wind flow which will increase, decrease or blow it away when Southerly winds.come around in summer. Let's see if any other complaints come up,till then.

If anything its louder despite whatever steps taken to dampen the outlet. The drone of the Mill has been a constant fixture and I am accustomed to it, however depending where you stay, direction of wind, I can imagine it can be annoying.

It sounds a bit like an aeroplane engine, or helicopter that's about to take off, though unfortunately never does. From walking around and listening, also with the Council noise pollution department previously it seems clear this noise emanates from a northerly direction, and in fact very likely indeed from the Premier Mill just below the Bijou Theater. If one visits the mill entrance area during the day it's the same quality of noise and is tremendously loud. It's a very large operation there, and obviously important, though so is our peace and quiet. If anyone does feel disturbed/irritated by this constant sound, avenues are open for complaint, including the City Council, and most effectively making an affidavit describing the issue which can also be given to the City Council, who are aware of there being some complaints so far.
