Sheffield residents have complained of a persistent unidentified \u201cweird humming noise\u201d that is keeping them awake through the night.<\/p>\n

The irritating sound has been heard between 10pm and 3am for the last eight weeks causing a plethora of complaints on community Facebook groups.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Jones, from near Eastbank Road, Arbourthorne, said: \u201cOver the past couple of months, I\u2019ve heard this noise at night. It’s really low pitch, but so loud that it wakes me up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nearest thing I could describe it as is when you\u2019re on a ferry and both hear and feel the engine.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s starting to drive me nuts and I\u2019m really tired of it all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mrs Jones claims to have tried various methods of identifying the noise, such as having her boiler checked and testing herself for tinnitus.<\/p>\n

She also said: \u201cI\u2019ve tried sleeping downstairs in case that solves it, but that\u2019s when I realised the \u2018hum\u2019 was outside.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"

The mystery has found its way to various Facebook groups.<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

David Cracker, a friend of Mrs Jones, has also heard the sound in Nether Edge, and believes it could be from police aeroplanes.<\/p>\n

Mr Cracker said: \u201cI was out for a short afternoon walk when I noticed a light aircraft repeatedly circling the city and it seemed to have the same wing and engine configuration as the National Police Air Service (NPAS) planes based at Doncaster.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe aircraft makes a distinctive high-pitch humming sound when flying at its operational altitude, and one of Jennifer\u2019s [Jones] friends had seen the plane circling Sheffield for a considerable amount of time on FlightRadar.\u201d<\/p>\n

South Yorkshire Police introduced four new Vulcanair P68s to their fleet in 2020, and they have been used to detect large gatherings of people during the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

Mrs Jones has used a flight-tracking app whenever the noise is heard, but has come up with no answers.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cWhen I look on the app at the same time as I hear the noise, it shows no planes above our area. Sometimes there aren\u2019t any over Sheffield at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

ShefNews have contacted the South Yorkshire Police and NPAS for a comment regarding this issue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
