That has to be the biggest piece of metal to be making that sound holy crap

I lived in two different houses on Benefit, many years ago. And yes, it was very nice.

Only in the tower in that house at planet st and benefit

I hear it all the time at night. It’s loud!! Interferes with my sleep

We hear it over in Mt hope area… I’ve definitely heard this noise before… sounds like something percussive like jackhammering far away or pile driving. Maybe a crew working on 95? Where are these scrap yards folks are talking about?

Yes, what is this?!?

it sounds wobbly and metallic, like someone shaking a big sheet of metal to make thunder noises. I'd believe the scrap metal loading explanation.

I completely wrecked my low clearance mini on that one, punched a hole in my oil pan and almost wrecked my transmission.

Sounds heard in fox point- it could be loading the steel. Is there an unloading/transferring space near the train line that parallels 95 down from Miriam? Just spit balling here. I live in fox point and have for years heard sounds like another thread described about the India point park area.

I’m feeling like it’s work on 146, noise doesn’t seem to be coming from the direction of the port.

Man I’m thinking about hitting 95 and trying to hunt it down once and for all. This is like “the boom” on every suburban Facebook page.

It’s a scrap metal ship being loaded. Occurs 2-3 times per year.

Yes near Doyle and Hope. Crazy never heard anything like it. What is it?

My wife wants to gas up the car in case we need to run from the alien invasion.

hearing it between Doyle and Cypress

i’ve lived in boston and nyc for over 20 years and i’ve almost been hit by a car more times in the 4 months i’ve living in providence than in my life — one woman had the audacity to call me a bitch as if i was the one who blew through a stop sign

Paolino has complained about them, and Paolino backed Smiley’s campaign. So unless they are overwhelmingly popular I don’t see the mayor jump starting this initiative (though I like them).

I hear it, a rhythmic whooshing over the entire sports complex area. Definitely not the wind.

Ive heard that noise in the middle of the night for months. For whatever reason its way louder and earlier tonight!

It kind of sounds like pile driving at a construction site?

yes! it’s a low rumbling noise. i read the other day about the scrap yards making similar noises…. (near hope high school)

I don't know if it's the same sound, but I've been hearing an odd sound in Pawtucket tonight, that's maybe coming from the direction of Providence. It sounds like if you shake a piece of sheet metal. Kind of like this video

Ohh it’s back.

Aaand it stopped just now…
