Hi all,
I’m in Perth, living fairly close to a golf course, in an area with plenty of trees & standing water. However for the past several weeks, there’s a noise that’s been driving us insane. Obviously attempting to describe a noise using a written medium such as this is probably an exercise in futility, nevertheless, I’ll give it a shot.
Think of a low-pitched noise that’s a cross between someone blowing across the top of a coke bottle, and the single hoot of an Owl. Each noise lasts for only 1-2 seconds, but repeats approximately every 3 seconds, and goes on-and-on-and-on for hours at a time. It’s loud enough to hear inside the house, but when you’re outside, it’s one of those noises that’s very difficult to pin down to a specific direction. I kinda think it’s coming from the direction of the nearby golf course (the fairways, not from the clubhouse), but I’d not put money on it.
Twice now, I’ve been determined to go out and to try & find the source once and for all, but each time, the damn thing has stopped (indicative of Poltergeist activity perhaps?)
Anyone have any ideas? Ive wondered if there’s some kind of new-fangled bird-scarer that I’m not aware of (although it doesn’t really sound like something mechanical). Either that, or we’ve got an OCD Owl living in the neighbourhood.
Whilst it’s something of an annoyance for me, one of my son’s who is often home studying for uni, says it’s driving him insane.
I was thinking of either taking a slingshot for a quiet walk (ok, I’m joking) or perhaps arranging for an exorcist. Any suggestions, spells or incantations would be welcomed.
