Calling people living on Riverside Drive around 88th street: do you hear a strange mechanical noise, like some sort of compressor or perpetuum mobile jackhammer, 24/7? Can't figure out what/where it is

Make sure the electric toothbrush in your suitcase is off.

do you still hear it? I'm thinking of putting a client down in that area so I just walked around, and I heard three sources of noise but nothing that exactly matches what you describe.

I'll trade you for my neighborhood noise; the manhole cover that cars hit at a certain angle, it tips up, and then it clangs down again.

This is fabulous at 3 am.

I've seriously considered sneaking out and putting in a rubber gasket.

"I'm thinking of putting a client down in that area" ...uh, should the police be notified, sounds like a hit is in the planning

Goal is to slow down the traffic. Are there any orange cones on your block? Simply putting them NEAR the manhole cover will get cars to slow down.

As a matter of fact, I used to hear it too when I lived there a few years ago. I had no luck figuring out what it was or where it was coming from. Definitely some kind of mechanical source. Strange.

Call 311 or online, it works everytime, it may take a month or so.

Sounds like a Dr Who episode.
Are you sure your not secretly traveling through space in a faux upper west side on the back of a Star Whale?

Is it preceded by black smoke? Near a hatch?
It could be just manhattan island protecting itself...

It's the primordial wails of buyers who purchased at the height of the market and sellers who thought they should wait a couple years before listing.
