About a year ago my friend's brother who is very mildly special needs, but he started to complain that there were "noises" coming from his TV in his flat.

He tortured Virgin and others to try and find out where this noise was coming from as he was desperate. I asked my friend if she heard - she said she was able to hear over the phone and sounded like Ole Ole Ole .

The noise seemed to calm down but he moved to a new flat several months ago and last Saturday he rang my friend at 11.30pm distracted that the noise was back.

Cutting a long story short his neighbour was taking the TV away as my friend was going to buy him a new one. This neighbour plugged the TV into his own flat and no noise.

The flat has nothing ie no TV etc but again he heard the noise. Guess what all this time it was a wee alarm clock going off. Unbelievable.

Mystery solved but must have been very unsettling.

yes Mamy very unsettling as he is a nervous kind of guy. Also a new TV could have been bought in vain.
I'm forever hearing noises. To me, when I'm in bed, it sounds like a band in the park at the road. I end up humming along with what I thought they were playing. Turns out it was our boiler.
With us, it usually turned out to be toys that suddenly decided to activate in the dead of night necessitating a mad scramble through the toy box to find the culprit.
i have often sat here in the living room and heard extensive noises, the cracking of wood, presumably heat expansion, and the curtain rails make a noise, no idea why.
I would have hated not knowing what the noise was, I can imagine the poor man getting upset. We were bringing my daughter home from uni,when we heard a voice in the car. Turned out to be a "build a bear" that had got squashed and activated in the boot.
Once when my daughter was visiting, she heard noises. Said it sounded like an alarm clock, but no clocks in the room and I couldn't hear it. She was persistent so I had a search in some drawers...and found an old cheap step tracker. I had to take the battery out to stop the noise.

I took my cousin who had Downs to a local cinema some years ago when after about 10 minutes the lights went up and the projector man came shouting into the cinema, "would anybody turn that bloody alarm off". I asked my cousin if she heard - she said "yes". It turned out to be an old lady with an alarm clock in her pocket which was going off.
