[QUOTE="SarahinSE5, post: 217608, member: 14978"] Hi I have a sound problem which I am hoping that someone can help me with! I have just moved into a new flat (ground floor victorian flat in terraced house with two flats) and there is a very high pitch sound across the flat, but mainly in the bedroom, that is keeping me awake at night. I have tried all of the following but none have stopped the sound or helped me locate its source: - turned off the electricity at the mains - turned off the water at mains - bled all the radiators - taken the btateries out of everything battery operated - walked around the flat with a kitchen roll tube to my ear to try and locate the sound (and still can't)! Does anyone know if a detector exists that can locate the source of the sound? And do electricians have these sort of detectors - i.e. could I pay someone to come and find out where it is coming from?! I imagine the next option would be to go and speak to the neighbours, but I would like to know if there is a better way for me to detect the sound before I start asking them to shut down their electricity etc. Also, if anyone has any other ideas on what it could be I would love to hear them. The sound is most prominent at night, although there are lots of overhead noises during the day which I think may drown it out. But could it be from any device that operates at night only (e.g. street lamps??). I will try and monitor whether it comes on at a specific time of day. I would be most grateful for any help - its driving me nuts! Thanks Sarah [/QUOTE]
