hannahdlz Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I know there has been a similar thread to this before but was anyone else kept awake by a loud thudding noise at about 1am last night? It sounded like heavy machinery or something.. I live in Malin Bridge but it sounded like it was quite far away. It was really annoying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick2 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 A hammer at a steel mill ? The sound can carry a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus Prune Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 We often hear noises like this at night, it's usually some chav's car stereo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martss Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 If it was a series of bangs just over a second between them, then a long pause then starting again it was the hammer at River Don Works, it's on the Forgemasters site but belongs to Aurora.

martss Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Look at it this way, if you can hear the hammers while your in bed, that means some is at work while your not. Sweet dreams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
