Mystery Noise

[echokilo]

Sensible answers only please: All weekend I have been hearing an odd noise in my bungalow. It's a very faint "bing bong" like the noise you hear on an aircraft or just before a PA announcement - but very quiet. It's clearer in some rooms than other and i can't hear it outside. I have checked everything electrical i can think of and have found nothing - driving me crackers!! Any ideas???

Put it down to the mini heatwave we have been having. Heat as we all know causes things to expand. A loose wall tie, some metal somewhere. All things expand some more than others.

Are you in a terrace house? I often hear funny noises coming from my neighbours.

Well done Echo. You have made me laugh today ;-) x

[sara3]

that was most amusing, thank you :o)

[Eve]

Yay :)

You should start a storyline... the tale of the dying toothbrush and all other related strange noises....

Glad to hear the mystery was resolved..... I'd not have worked that one out !

[echokilo]

I am laughing along with you all - seriously lost sleep last night as kept hearing it....... and it's so simple it's ridiculous. If nothing else you all made me realise I was NOT going mad and the noise really did exist!!

Thanks again.

One thing that hasn`t been mentioned is a water-leak detector. I had the same problem last year and had forgotten about it as about three years ago we had a leak from our upstairs bathroom which ruined our wallpaper and carpets so I bought a gadget which touches the floor and if we had another leak it would sound a high pitch beep, but the battery went flat and omitted that noise for a couple of days until I found out what it was.

[shylock73]

Do you have a water leak detector?

was just going to suggest some kind of singing xmas deceration/lights stored up in the loft.... or the Borrowers

glad you found out what it was...that would have driven me insane!
