Annoying Humming Noise

[JohnD]

I remember hearimng of a case where an old chimney was resonating like a pipe-organ with air currents.

and other cases where noise has originated from equipment at an industrial or military site.

Transformers and other power distribution equipment sometimes hum, including on ralilway lines.

Speak very nicely to neighbours ask if you can turn there power and water off for a couple of hours to see if it stops .

Reidy, I know you're tired and emotional, but you seem to have hijacked this other topic, and are now duplicating posts on both.

If you continue with this you're going to p*ss off everyone who's trying to help you. Please stick to posting on just one topic - preferably the one you created.

ok will use other post from now on soz

hi you are not going mad the noise is created by wind passing over exhaust and intake pipe I had condensing boiler fitted in the centre of bungalow noise was horrendous had flue repositioned twice to no avail now had boiler moved to loft to reduced flue length improved but not perfect now only get noise when wind from south speak to fitter for a plumeing device to flue this does reduce noise if you find abetter solution notify the world as this problem seems widespread
