🥺Constant humming noise🥺

Fiona from Henderson

I have a question for those who live in the Henderson, Henderson Valley, Oratia, Sunnyvale, Swanson, Ranui and maybe Te Atatu areas.

Have any of you heard the maddening humming noise happening at night time?

For so long now, the CONSTANT humming in the wee hours has become louder and for such a longer period now.

At first I thought it maybe a truck nearby that may have a refrigerated unit attached and it's left going to maintain the cold, then I thought about Tegal right at the bottom of Bruce McLaren Road, then I thought it maybe Huhtamaki off Henderson Valley Road and now I think it maybe coming from either road works (daft as they aren't working - haha) or even the orchid where they have the farmer's market.

To be honest, I think I maybe at the beginning of losing my mind from lack of sleep, the 100% nerve tickling constant humming each and every night.
I don't even know if the above places suggested have anything to do with it or not.

To those who suggest ear plugs, headphones, calming music etc ... everything has been tried.
Noise control aren't interested as it's not above a certain decibel, but the low humming is just as bad, if not worse as it's constant.

A couple of nights ago, it sounded as though it was humming really loudly from the ground up.

Is it so wrong that I want to stand outside at night and scream or should I be reaching for the bottle (who can aford that now?)?

I will be interested to hear your thoughts and/or experiences with this maddening noise.

Aucklanders, we want to know: How are you feeling about the current property market?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

New Zealand homeowners are now more likely to sell at a loss than at any time since 2013, and if you’re in Auckland or Wellington, the odds are even higher.

But there is a silver lining: buyers are still in a strong position when it comes to negotiating prices.

So we’re curious…
How are you feeling about the current property market?

If you’re keen to dive into the details, Deborah Morris breaks down all the latest insights.
