Sounds quite fan-like. When you say "north" is it near enough to the seaside for it to be the machines processing the heaps of gravel and dust at the docks? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19330#post-297489 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 20:31:11 +0000 Frenchy 297489@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Apparently lots of noise complaints near Meadowbank at the moment, as the council is resurfacing Marionville Road overnight. </p> <p>Don't think that'd make the sound you describe, though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19330#post-297486 Tue, 11 Dec 2018 19:41:10 +0000 I were right about that saddle 297486@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nothing clean about graves @jdanielp.

It's like some sort of machinery, like a hoover, but from farther across the city. I can hear it in the north.</p> <p>any idea what it is? drives me nuts. </p>
