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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
