Hello,


Has anyone else noticed an intermittent whistling / high pitched noise on the junction between Landcroft Road and Crystal Palace Road? It goes all day and night and the 'whistles' are of varying length between 5 to 20 seconds, occurring every 3-5 minutes.


I called noise disruption services at Southwark Council and they were very quick to come out and take a look, but also couldn't identify it.


Driving me mad and affecting sleep!


Thanks

I had a similar issue a few years ago now. A poster here suggested it was someone's boiler, a faulty valve so that when the boiler starts up it makes that noise. I can't for some reason find the post where that was said. It eventually stopped and I wondered if the person had read my post and done something about it. Here is the thread.

Thanks Alec - this is promising to hear it eventually got sorted! How long did it take to get fixed? It has been going on almost 2 weeks now and other neighbours can hear it too.


I have rung the the noise team at Southwark Council over 5 times (including at night when it is more prominent without traffic noise) but they can't identify where it's coming from / don't think it's disturbing enough to take it any further. It's preventing me from opening my window and affecting sleep so it's very frustrating.


Thanks for your help on this.

Actually, I think it was my brother who said it likely was a boiler. It was a few weeks before it was sorted. I did go out to try and pinpoint where it was coming from, and if it had carried on I would have knocked on doors. It must also be impacting those in the house and neighbours too. It is incredibly disturbing though.

    • Have you considered PIV - positive input ventilation. We retro fitted a Soler & Palau super quiet in-line fan system. This takes cool air from the outside ans is ducted into the loft. It is really quiet and very efficient. It is controlled by a reverse thermostat ie one which shuts the system off when the temperature drops to a set level. We are very pleased with it especially as it costs a fraction of a/c and provides greater flexibility in terms of location of vents and ducting.
    • If you’re into nature or just love trees, this lovely program is worth catching up on https://www.channel5.com/show/the-secret-life-of-trees It’s one of those quietly fascinating watches that leave you thinking about the world a bit differently. I had no idea that trees are connected underground by fungal networks. They use them to share nutrients, water, and even to send signals to each other. They can recognise their kind and give more support to their “relatives” than to other trees nearby. They can also remember things like droughts or pest attacks and change how they respond in the future. No wonder so many cultures and spiritual traditions view trees as sacred. In some belief systems, cutting one down is thought to carry serious karmic consequences. When you learn about how they live, communicate, and support one another, it makes sense. The natural world is far more aware and interconnected than we tend to realise.
    • I installed an all-in-one air conditioning unit at my holiday home since I wasn’t allowed to have an external fan unit outside. It actually works just as well, was easier to fit, and although it’s slightly noisier, it’s a good solution overall. https://www.orionairsales.co.uk/all-in-one-air-conditioning-142-c.asp?srsltid=AfmBOopZSVZj1_utAO-Hr4m5M323nRZru6Zmf1YuT4KP2touJ2OLaruU
