There is a noise.
It's a new noise.
Sounds like ds xbox. Or a fan.
Ds is with me, watching a film. Xbox is off.
We dont own a fan .
We have investigated all our electric things. None is making a noise.
Aibu to ask what is this noise?
Where is it coming from?
And how can we get it to stop???
please?
I need some sleep.

But as voting is on... yanbu - there shouldn't be a noise at this time of night.
Yabu - leave the poor noise alone !

Is it a toilet cistern filling continuously? Ours has been doing this and it's a high pitched noise I could hear, but DP couldn't.

Boiler?

BreconBeBuggered · 25/07/2020 23:58

Vibrator or electric toothbrush buzzing away somewhere it shouldn't.

Water tank in the loft?

CoffeeBeansGalore · 26/07/2020 00:01

Is it windy? If so could be the wind rushing through soffit boards or fascia on the outside of your house.

torthecatlady · 26/07/2020 00:02

If you live in an attached house, could it be neighbours?

If not, something to do with pipes / heating?

Is it definitely indoors and not a low flying search helicopter?

Fridge left slightly ajar

IAintentDead · 26/07/2020 00:12

My fridge makes funny noises when it is auto doing whatever it auto does. Different from its usual noise.

Fucking tinnitus!

MyNameHasBeenTaken · 26/07/2020 00:19

It sounds like all of those!
But the boiler is off overnight. As usual.
Not windy and more constant hum type noise.
Toothbrush is flat.
Need to charge that tomorrow.
Sounds a lot like the boiler. But I have been and checked.
Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I have tinnitus too.
The hum is almost drowning the tinnitus

My virgin TiVo box randomly makes a noise like this!

JacobReesMogadishu · 26/07/2020 00:23

I hear/feel a noise like this. It’s only started since my neighbour got a sound bar and it’s the bass from that.

JacobReesMogadishu · 26/07/2020 00:24

Can you flick the switch on your fuse box.....if it stops it’s something electrical in your house.

Fiveletters · 26/07/2020 00:25

Next door’s fan?

Ishihtzuknot · 26/07/2020 00:26

Do you have an extractor fan anywhere in the house?
Could it be coming from outside or from your neighbours?
Try switching off your electric mains and see if it stops.

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 26/07/2020 00:27

DS can hear the electric. He said that's a buzzing sound weirdo

TeetotalKoala · 26/07/2020 00:28

Sky Box? Ours is nosier at times.

Youbigdosser · 26/07/2020 00:28

Probably the thunder storms about today

NoShitHemlock · 26/07/2020 00:30

Just about to say Sky box - ours is very noisy too at times.

Could it be a laptop? If there is an issue with the fan sometimes it gets very loud.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 26/07/2020 00:32

@TheFormerPorpentinaScamander. Your ds is not the only one 😁. The electric is more of a high pitched whine/hum than a low level buzz.

gamerchick · 26/07/2020 00:32

Could something be pushed right back onto the fan in your fridge freezer? That makes quite a racket.

gamerchick · 26/07/2020 00:33

Or give your sky box vents a Hoover tomorrow. Sometimes the dust clog can make the fan run full pelt.
