What’s That Sound What’s That Sound?

Is it Freekbass gettin’ down?

I don’t think so.

Not funky enough.

It’s an unknown sound disrupting an Oregon town and it has experts stumped.

It’s a high-pitched squeal almost like a boiling tea kettle or crazy flute, has no apparent pattern or timing, and it’s source cannot be found.

Locals claim this same thing happened and was never solved decades ago.

They complained to the gas company and the fire department but both are stumped. The gas company said everything passed diagnostics and inspection and the fire department has had no luck catching the creator of this very loud sound.

The police said if it’s man-made a ticket will be written.

I listened to the cell-phone version posted here and to me it sounds like pressure relief, like air coming out of a balloon. But with no explosions or other seismic activity reported, I’m stumped too.
