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.

    • Anywhere near the Overground/Windrush due to its excellent transport links.  You will get larger place in SE23 for example that will give you enough spare cash for private school if that's what you really want but states schools generally good, reflecting the demographic  Easy to get to the bustling streets of East Dulwich but in ten years see what happens to Forest Hill centre.  The whole of the area is full of green spaces. Access to East Croydon for days out in the South Coast   
    • Could East Dulwich or Forest Hill work? Some properties on Underhill Road and Wood Vale have large gardens e.g.  https://www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/161079866#/?channel=RES_BUY  You'd be close to the Horniman, Dulwich Park and Peckham Rye. Transport might not be what you're looking for though e.g. a 15 minute walk to Forest Hill station for the East London line or mainline into London Bridge.
    • I would leave London, or at a push move back to north London. In SE London if you want to get away in a car you are trapped, always an hour to go the first 10 miles, chugging up to the M4 or round the south circular, which is really just a line someone drew connecting a load of roads. and I know there are trains but first you have to get to those mainline stations, unless you only want to leave London to go to Kent. which I don't. 
    • It was you who  made it personal in the first place,  Jazzer. You said you didn't feel safe in the streets,  and you said you didn't go to Central London because you didn't feel safe there. So are you now saying that wasn't "personal"? "Fire from the hip." Another interesting choice of words 🙄 I'm not "demanding" anything! I asked you some perfectly reasonable questions in  response to your own statements. None of which you have answered. Never mind. It seems to be pointless having a discussion with you. It's long past my bedtime. I'm going to turn on my sleep app  and go to sleep 😴💤
