There's a sound--a sound that is driving me slowly insane. Your job is to figure out what the heck it is. It sounds like a basketball bouncing, and the ball bounces about once every 30 seconds. (I've counted.) It's coming from outside, and I can hear it very clearly when my window is open; I have since closed my window because I can no longer handle that sound-that-haunts-my-sleep. Yes, I live in a construction zone, and no it's not construction related. Oh no. This sound (the loud basketball) makes itself known 24/7, so unless they have some miraculous mallet that works without manpower, the sound seems to be unrelated to the building.
WHAT IS IT?

Maybe a bad pipe? Funny water pressure? Good luck - that would drive me nuts.
OOOO the consistant noises are the worst! I don't have a quess. BUT I am so sorry! That would drive me nuts! Good luck!
What sound? There is no sound...you're going crazy. ;) Love ya!
Your probably still trying to recover from the bounce house haha :).
Oh. my.
I did some investigative work. It seems to be coming from the college, the townhomes across the way, or the vineyards. Maybe it's something to scare the birds away from the grapes??
Garre used to have a thing to scare the birds away from the grapes that did go off in consistent intervals like you explained, but theirs was the sound of a large bird crowing and sounding like it was killing small birds. Maybe they have something that they think is a little less annoying up where you live...your latest theory sounds like a good one.
I hate that thing at Garre. It ruins my lunch.
It sounds like a car backfiring when I'm outside, and I'm pretty sure, now, that it is coming from the vineyards on the hill.
I think I'm going to start pulling my hair out.
AHA!!!! Look what I found online,
"Tom walks the grounds and shows me his favorite tool for keeping birds at bay. A small yellow box with a tube hooked up to a propane tank. It looks like a toy cannon but I assure you, I nearly jump out of my skin when it fires. I am now afraid to pick his grapes. It works perfectly. Tom also has a few inflated plastic birds on a string suspended from a pole and when they wind blows, it looks like a hawk on the prowl."
