Please reference the archived issue #246959 at http://seeclickfix.com/issues/246959-loud-intrusive-low-frequency-noise

Summary:
Loud, Intrusive Low Frequency Noise causes ear pain, sleep loss; obvious vibrations and amplification in buildings. Can last hours, even in the dead of night (2-5am). Sometimes can be heard around the clock, almost 24/7 recently.

Note:
I closed a similar issue in May of 2013 as the noise had subsided. It has returned and been going strong throughout October and now into November. Right now it is intense, waking me up at about 8:20am, loud enough to hurt my eardrums, and was present 5 hours earlier as well.

Others in the area have commented on sore eardrums and headaches as though they have been at a loud concert on and off but are unable to hear the noise directly.

Again, the length and persistence of the noise make it seem like it is from a source other than an idling truck. Traffic noise does not explain it considering it has been absent for long stretches when traffic would be high, or in case of the having to reopen this issue, months. Also it can be heard in the dead hours of Sunday and Monday at 3-5am when traffic is sparse or nil in the area. If area acoustics are amplifying something I am unsure what.

I have not found an effective way to block it. Using white noise does not stop it, music or appliances turning on only masks it audibly; the vibration in the building, felt in the head and the soreness of the eardrums persists.

I'm at a loss here... Was really hoping it was gone for good. No such luck.
