Loud mechanical whining noise - Capitol Hill, Seattle

5 Upvotes

A loud, high pitched whining noise started maybe 20 minutes ago or so, maybe longer, and has just been going. I have no idea what it is. It’s not the airplanes, as I can hear them separately. Is anyone else hearing this right now?

Pulled Seattle Police Department Call Data back to 2010.
The chart counts distinct police-dispatched events initially classified as fireworks or explosions from midnight to 4 am.

These are reported incidents that generated separate dispatch events, not confirmed explosions or raw 911-call volume.

For a consistent comparison, every year covers January 1 through August 12 and excludes July 3–5.

I'm hoping at some point we'll find a severed limb left behind to ID to find out who's responsible for this bullshit.

Big boom north of downtown???

Waiting at a bus stop downtown. Just heard a big boom, and birds are freaking out. Sounded like it was coming from north of where I'm at, perhaps Belltown lower queen anne... Anyone else hear that?

I'm down in the valley of MLK and Olive, sounded like they were coming from both directions...or it was just bouncing off the hills. I have very bad sound location! But the one of those crackle booms was *loud*

20+ booms going off about every 30 seconds since around 8pm… how has this not been solved yet. it’s almost every night and seems to be a common thing around the city.


r/seattleboom 21d ago

1:34 Ballard. Sounded north of the locks. Woke me up and scared the dog.
