[200William-EC] The Tapping Noise

[Matt Perkins]

It's not always at around that time. On Wednesday it started around 3:30 
and went through to about 6:00. The accompanying loud bang that 
sometimes happens is residents of the  building searching up and down 
the fire escape for the noise.  When they exit the fire escape there's a 
loud bang as the door slams. I have run into many people searching for 
the noise. George Im not sure if you realize but this noise is so loud 
it would wake all but the most sound sleepers. It is becoming unbearable 
and the building unlivable. Most people I have talked with all say it's 
directly above their head. No matter what level they are on. There is so 
much echo it is very very hard to track down. There is also the problem 
that the noise goes for around 10 - 15 seconds then stops for 20 - 30 
minutes and then starts again. As soon as you get dressed and out the 
door it's stopped. Then you wait for 10 minutes only to go back to bed 
to have it start again.

The noise is not in the hydraulic or electrical risers. It's not as loud 
in there. It mat be in the lift shaft. It's very loud in there. But not 
as loud as it is in my apartment. I have never made it up to the plant 
room in time before it stops. It would be best if I camp up there once 
it starts and see if I can track it down.

We need to find a solution to this one soon before there are serious 
consequences.


Matt.
