There is a [Famous Food Company] plant that makes coffee in my town. It is located on the next street over from the main road that my condo complex is off of. Monday morning I was woken up at 3am by this..noise. A constant low roar. I could not tell where the hell it was coming from, partly because while the factory is on one side, the noise travels and echoes back and when standing at my door sounds more like it's coming from somewhere in the opposite direction. I could still hear it when I left for work, and still when I got home from work in the afternoon. So later I took out the trash and I could tell the roar was definitely coming from a particular direction, so I decided to take a walk. Went across the highway, cut through a parking lot that goes across to the street behind, and back up past the factory. Which has been spewing white clouds of steam or smoke or whatever, but that's not unusual. But as far as I can tell, the noise is coming from their smokestack. And it is driving me insane.
After breakfast and gift-opening at my parents' house, I decided to drop my stuff off at home and brush my teeth before going to my uncle's for dinner, and I came a back way down the road the factory is on, and sure enough, it was still going as I drove by. And is still going on now. I can't imagine this isn't violating some kind of noise ordinance. I've been here almost a year and I have heard this once before (several weeks ago as I was getting ready for bed. At first I thought it was a plane but it didn't stop) but it didn't last this long. My dad suggested they might be scrubbing their smokestacks or something and might take a few days. I don't know. I'm hoping whatever they're doing, they're doing it while they're closed for Christmas (since there were no cars in the parking lot and no lights on in the windows you can see into, and no sign of work going on in the truck bays on the side, I'm guessing they were off yesterday and today) and then maybe it will stop by tomorrow.
Please?
