[200William-EC] The Tapping Noise

[George Ziri]

Hi All

 

Approximately 5 weeks ago we reset the timer which controls the car park
exhaust. I haven't received complaints until recently.

 

We will be attending site tomorrow at 4am to source this nuisance.

 

We will keep you posted.

I've heard this noise often too and it's very difficult to distinguish
where it is coming from.  Piping, the plant room, the extraction units?
Hopefully it won't continue because, as Matt states, it's very difficult
to sleep under such conditions.

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.

	Hi George and everybody, 

	 

	The mechanical tapping, which starts at around 5:10AM and
continues spasmodically for a few hours almost every morning must be
investigated, unless everybody is happy to be woken that early.

	 

	I wonder George, if a flyer under everone's door asking what
they hear, might be appropriate.

	 

	Is there something in the services of the building that switches
on at that time and may be causing the noise (which sounds like metal on
wood). It is still going now at 8AM. 

	 

	This has been going now for months and I feel must be addressed.

	 

	Regards,

	 

	Di
