Experts have been left “scratching their heads” at a mysterious humming noise irking residents of a Leeds estate.
The vexatious sound was first reported in Hunslet two months ago, but its source has yet to be identified as an investigation continues. It has been described as a low-frequency buzzing by those living close to the banks of the River Aire, in the vicinity of Yarn Street and National Road. Labour Coun Paul Wray, who represents the Hunslet and Riverside ward, said he has been contacted by several people about the issue. 'It's a bit of a weird one,' he explained.
'It could be that something is helping to transmit the sound across the estate, which is why only certain parts are hearing it, but God knows how.' Experts from Leeds City Council's Environmental Health department have been to assess noise levels – and residents have been asked to keep ‘nuisance diaries’ – but, so far, no solution has been found.
