Strange Noise Outside

[barry1010]

I first noticed it when I went to bed, I have the windows open.

A low, continuous rumble like grumbling thunder. I can still hear it now. It's definitely outside.  There is no thunder predicted over recent days.  Could it be some other weather or atmospheric condition?

The volume does drop for a while but there is no discernible pattern.

Any ideas?

Has someone nearby got a generator going?

Good suggestion, I will have to go for a walk, see if I can track it down although it doesn't have that awful vibrating resonance that is usual in generators.

What area are you in Barry.  I too was aware of a strange noise in the early  hours.  A noise I haven't heard before. As you say a  continuous rumble.  I thought perhaps it came from the farm, but all was in darkness there.

Can you hear it still if you cover your ears?

Have you got any disused or empty buildings near you?  Last time we heard such a noise, it turned out there was a cannabis grow in an empty farmhouse nearby.  The noise is the heaters and fans they have going constantly.

Someones gas boiler nearby? when the extractor fans bearing wears out, it can make a hell of a noise /rummble through the outside flue. But I would have thought the noise would be enough to scare them to death and reach for the off button.

There have been reports of strange hums from many places of late.  When I moved into my house in this village I was plagued by a low hum - really noticeable at night -  that my partner could not hear, leading to much friction between us.  I even got the council to come out but the guy couldn't hear it either (though one of my then neighbours could, and also in his house).  Definitely wasn't a boiler, electric substation or any of the other things suggested.

I hear at times a hum from next door, but I know what it is, their boiler. The fan and pump run on for a set time after the boiler switches off. But if the mother board on the boiler is playing up they can carry on for an unlimitted time.

I saw him out front the other week just having a general chat, and he happen to say is electric bills are getting out of hand, so i mentioned what could be using the excess. I now don't here it so must have had it fixed, not seen much of him since, so no feed back as yet.

Sometimes distant noises (road noise, generators etc.) can be muffled by rows of trees when they are in full leaf but at this time of year,especially after a storm, the bare trees no longer muffle the sound as well and the noises can suddenly appear louder.

I got to the bottom of it, the crematoria is being maintained.

Thanks for all the replies

Funnily enough Barmaid.  We had one over the fields in an empty house in the next  village.  Almost next door to the pub!
