Mysterious Sound Perplexes Lakeview Neighborhood
Even though the noise is subtle, it’s been driving some people between Clark and Halsted streets crazy. They hear it in the morning, noon, and night, and they’ve been looking for an explanation.
The sounds of city life echo through Lakeview, but lately something sounds strange.
Lakeview resident Lindsey Hoffman couldn’t ignore the noise as she walked down a usually-quiet street with her son Joey on Thursday.
“I hear it right now,” she said.
Another Lakeview resident, Stephanie Boroski, described the noise as high-pitched.
“Like an alarm sound, like a pulse but not really,” Boroski said.
The sound can feel “maddening,” Boroski said.
The mysterious noise has been reverberating through Facebook message boards too.
But somehow not everyone can hear it. Five-year-old Joey Hoffman said he heard nothing unusual.
Andersonville resident Kate Korte said she couldn’t hear the strange sound. Korte, who works in Lakeview, speculated that the sound probably blends in with the usual city noise.
