There's a really loud high pitch noise coming from somewhere behind the houses at 137-151 Landells Road or maybe Crystal Palace Road I think. Maybe a fox scarer or possibly a power tool? It was present yesterday until about 6pm and then it started today at 11am and is continuing. Timings would suggest a power tool from a labourer but can't see anyone using such a tool. It is very very loud, almost continuous and annoying especially as we have to leave the doors open because of the heat. Does anyone know what this is? Someone reported it to Southwark council and they are trying to track the source of it as well.
You may be surprised to hear that the noise was coming from a lot further away, unless there are two of them on the go! At exactly the times you mentioned we were being deafened and could not stay in the garden to enjoy a couple of rare days off. We had to close all the windows (on such a hot day) but forgot about the bathroom window on Friday when it was quite windy. I got such a shock when I went in there later, the wind had blown all the black dust in and every surface in my white bathroom was covered in the stuff. It was coming from a house in Mundania Road and I think it was just some DIY work in the rear garden, maybe cutting metal rods or railings. It seems to be over now and we'll keep fingers crossed that the next job will be quieter. Interesting to know just how far the noise travelled.

Maybe, and without wanting to start panic, it is a madman (or woman) putting still live chopped up bits of people through a wood pulper and the sounds you are hearing is a combination of bones being ground down and screaming !


of course it could be something totally innocent and I need to stay off the cheese at night

Jokes aside, we heard it on Friday - it was so annoying! Not being dramatic but it was sending me over the edge slightly as I was trying to dismantle an m&s wardrobe in the heat at the same time!! It sounded like it was coming from a house between 141-145 landells! Hopefully it's stopped now!!

Haha, reminded me of Shallow Grave.

From the title I thought you meant the very loud, high-pitched beeping that's woken my up around dawn the last few days. It sounds like some sort of alarm malfunctioning. Very annoying.


The grinding/powertool noise is annoying too. I'd assumed it was coming from the building work a couple of doors down from me, so a house number somewhere in the mid-40s.

    • But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.
    • I am sure our lovely Evri delivery team, who do a firkin hard job, take the time between drops to read the East Dulwich Forum 🤫
    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
