The turn of the screw (noise coming from Heber Rd, Crystal Palace Rd area)

[Alabama]

There is a metal-scrapey noise coming from either Heber Rd, Crystal Palace Rd or nearby; I hear it all times of the day and it's pretty constant.

Because i don't get out much, i have tried to decipher the source and have it nailed down to three possibilities:

1) rusty child's swing, powered by manic child that never gets tired

2) a rusty gate that swings back and forth all day

3) a clothes mangle operated by manic old lady that never gets tired

if anyone knows where this noise is coming from i would be most delighted.

if no-one else can hear it then i'm checking myself into the priory for a rest.

Oh, to the priory then.

Mine was a diesel lorry sound .Seriously there is a droning noise syndrome I read about. Though I don't live in your area.....but!

I think they might be there for the summer, if the signs outside are anything to go by. They point to a summer school for the arts at Heber. So, it's either earplugs, WD40 or a word with the headteacher.

If the bottle installations are causing the noise then have a word with the head, Mr Block, pretty sharpish- Heber breaks up for summer holidays tomorrow. It sounds like something the caretaker could easily sort out with a ladder and a few squirts of WD40.

thanks folks - my housemate spoke to the school and they are going to oil them on thursday which should hopefully help
