'This is what a headache sounds like': a strange sound ruins the lives of Brooklyn residents

Residents of the western part of Brooklyn say that for several months now, periodically, at different times of the day, they hear a mysterious sound. They are asking the city authorities to help find out what it is and let them sleep peacefully at night, reports Pix11.

“It looks like woo woo woo! said Mo Hussain, a resident of the Fort Green area. - Sounds unnatural. This sound seems to get under your skin.”

Hussain is an active member of Nextdoor and WhatsApp groups where videos, complaints and other information about sound and its effects are shared.

“It looks like your teeth are about to fall out. And your window panes can shatter, Hussein said. "It's a really unnatural sound, and it's unnerving."

Dawn Louise, who has lived in Fort Greene for three years, said she has heard the sound from time to time over the past year.

“Sounds like a tuning fork. Very annoying,” she said at first. And then she added: “That’s what a headache sounds like.”

According to residents, the sound usually does not last long, up to half an hour.

Louise said that the time of day does not matter, the sound appears at any time.

“It sounds very creepy, and therefore it is difficult to ignore it,” the woman says.

Hussain went into detail about how the intermittent nature of sound affects his family.

“I am the father of a 9-year-old boy,” he explained. “Sometimes the sound starts right before bed. And, of course, prevents him from falling asleep.

In recent years, more new buildings have been built in Fort Green than in any other part of the city. Locals suspect the sound may be related to one or more construction projects. But they say they're not sure.

Hussein said they hoped the city would help solve the mystery. Various members of the community groups of which he is a part have sent emails, filled out web forms, called 311 and otherwise complained to the city in the hope of getting some answers.

Resident complaints were referred to the New York City Department of Environmental Protection.

A spokesman for the Department of Environmental Protection told PIX11 News that a meeting with a local resident has been scheduled for next week. A check will be made.
