I was thinking that too. The ones here would probably grind up the arduino in a coffee grinder they stole and try to inject it in themselves.

That frequency is close to the frequency of a CRT is it not, I wonder if they just have a big CRT TV in there. I remember that sound being the norm back as a kid I basically tuned it out.

You need proof of these things
Can normal microphones or smartphones pick up high frequencies effectively? How would they be calibrated to measure the sound levels?
You could document all the other disturbances.


Hospitals have a cheek with that vaccine nonsense when they could have provided sterile suits to visitors which would have covered patients for other variants of the disease.
I need a good microphone which is very expensive. I tried it with several other at hand solutions, but Long Covid makes it difficult to be my normal imaginative positive solution self.

If you can find out who their dealer is, you could try to report the dealer to the police. Start messing with their supply chain. Cops don't really care about drugs anymore these days though... It's gotten so bad everywhere. So might not go very far. We have drug dealers here at practically every corner and it's just normal.

Another fun thing is If you have access to the electrical panel that feeds their unit, shut off the breaker for their unit and put a lockout tag on it. It might also stop the beep depending what's powering it.
Well, that is the thing. I am very capable but i rather find out what is going on first before i do that. I give the local police officer another chance and the housing corporation who when i visit them in person claims to have called me but they never did which i let them know, but of course i cannot be angry against the lady receptionist. That is now the fourth time that i hear nothing and i am tired of it.
The Long Covid disease makes it harder to control the emotions but i do not want to make innocent people hurt. I know one person is doing it on purpose at least. He wants to fight me , but i try to do it through legal action because if i have to fight, i always end up in a cel anyway. I do not want that. It is like these people only understand brawling. I rather not, but i have no choice , so be it. Then it is what it is. I do not want to be kept out of my sleep or made sicker anymore. I am already weak but i will give everything i have and i know they will pull knives : I have had this before a few times in my life now. I was robbed as a kid by a mature junkie who pushed i knive against my chest, that was in the poorly lit bicycle storage outside school at the time. And got almost in a few serious knive fights. I never want that again, all where emotional people with way too much personal problems.

are you sure it's not tinnitus?

i hear high pitched sounds during some nights, but it is just one of my ears going crazy
I know what my hearing problems are, and i can distinguish weird sounds inside the house and when being outside with what i hear outside. That is how i learn to cope with my hearing issues. I also know now that it seems to be position related and time related. When sitting in the train, and i am sitting in the direction of movement, i noticed the glitched sounds come during acceleration but are gone with stable movement. It is like a high power smps is switched on. Remember those squeeling graphic cards. When you have to draw frames, the powerdraw jumps up and you hear this sound and for me it sounds like something with high frequency is switching on and off again. But the yelling, and the doors slamming, the banging against the wall , the provocation is not form my hearing. At times, my hearing also hurts very much. Like the sound source is next to my ear. Last year when i closed my eyes and standing up right while listening to loud music , suddenly i would get nautious and then totally loose my balance for a moment. Even when doing my own tests with a sound generator program, i noticed that all of a sudden i have drop-outs with the sound left ear and right ear, this happens especially with single tone set ups. Almost like the sound processing in the brain is switching what is left and what is right. I tried it during the day and at night when i have a long covid sleeplees night. Which i hate, i feel dead tired but fired up. It seems that long covid is messing with the autonomous nervous system. It is like i need therapy to relearn how to use the autonomous nervous system. Sometimes blurry eyes, difficulty reading. And of course nay-sayers for SARS-CoV2 and vaccinehaters. I would not be surprised if i end up with some sort of discrimination like behavior. I can understand that for pregnant women, people with comorbidity issues that are easily sick and old people. That ius just being cautious. But healthy young man, not so much.

Yeah, I'm not trying to be mean to the OP, but that was my thought as well. Or its either sound that you normally wouldn't hear because other sounds overpower it, but in the middle of the night, it becomes much more discernible. I have a mini-fridge that occasionally makes a weird sound (like a popping followed by like a whirring). Since they mentioned hearing issues, I wonder if it might even be a hearing aid that is amplifying certain frequencies exacerbating it, or they maybe should have a hearing aid to balance things out and their hearing deficiencies are making those noises much more discernible).

Lots of people use white noise generators (or other that serves same purpose, fans, etc) to help mask sounds when sleeping.

I've even seen speakers that you put under your pillow (basically a flat bluetooth speaker, but I believe it can also provide vibrations which can help with say alarm clock like functions; I actually am surprised we haven't seen a boon of like vibrating blankets or something, acting sorta like how rocking cribs or driving helps babies fall asleep quicker with some vibrations).
See my answer to brianmanahan.


Also, my heart beats irregular , but nothing to worry about. I just want to sleep but that long covid messes with :
  • the day night cycle
  • time keeping
  • everything is too much, be angry at any asshole that is near. Especially the ones that could be the perfect havoc creators for a peaceful world full of harmony and peace. Like Evil they are.
  • Feels so much like a burn-out and being way too overstressed.
  • Hearing sensitivity
  • Visual sensitivity
  • dead tired but still able to function but no pleasure to be felt, just worries about forgetting stuff all the time, how to cope with the future ?
  • brain fog
Sometimes i get the imaginative idea that i just want to go berserk all the time. Like some Legend zombie. That kind of makes me sad.
And then i get the corona nay-sayers and vaccine-haters that think it is okay to mess with me. Law enforcement does not seem to understand, even our governmental health department does not understand and keep up wit hthe new developments. It is that i found a a flyer from a LONG COVID support foundation at the government unemployment law department that seems to be more informed than the General Practitioner, the immunology hospital specialists or the people from the governmental health department. They where totally surprised when i handed it to them. it is very dissapointing how bad the Dutch society is dealing with the after effects that some people seem to have. It is a combination of DNA, comorbidity, determined to live. And what else more. I do not know.

I just sometimes make the joke that i will be some sort of cheap knock off from Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde.
I made so many jokes about it. I even made hulk jokes. I know when i yell as hard as i can : "Hulk Smash !" It even sounds very much the same as the movie.
I could be a voice actor if electronic design will no longer be feasible.

How certain are you with this “guess”?
Sounds like a lot of work your neighbor is putting into irrigating people along with likely irritating themselves.
So much that to me it’s just not believable.

That's not the main/intermediate frequency of their grow lights, is it?

Most growlights are just fancy light bulbs. The 60Hz hum is common with fluorescents, and the LED ones could have fancy circuitry that might be doing a coil whine or similar, but you'd be unlikely to hear that through a wall, IME.

/me grumbles and breaks out the grow lights for the annual seed starting...

Since you're in an apartment, try hanging a couple blankets on the shared wall and see if that attenuates or changes the noise. (It should, if the sound is coming from them.)

Do you know what Country the OP lives in?
You mean a place that is even softer in the US?

The liberal drug policy of the authorities in the Netherlands especially led to problems in "border hot spots" that attracted "drug tourism" as well as trafficking and related law enforcement problems in towns like Enschede in the East and Terneuzen, Venlo, Maastricht and Heerlen in the South. In 2006, Gerd Leers, then mayor of the border city of Maastricht, on the Dutch-Belgian border, criticised the current policy as inconsistent, by recording a song with the Dutch punk rock band De Heideroosjes.

Then that means he's wasting his time complaining about CBD oil, alcohol, or cigarettes. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-50821542

And any cop in any jurisdiction is not going to take seriously an accusation another is using some arduino to then make a sound just to annoy someone. Better off saying loud music and I have recordings or something.

Why is the vaccination piece relevant, and you do they know your status? And vice versa?

I don't even know half of my neighbors' names, let alone if they were vaccinated lol. WTF.

I'm standing outside the MoMA right now waiting for my date and it smells like a cafe in the Netherlands. And I'm going to be ok.

Hmm could possibly be some whine from the power driver circuit.

Either way it sounds like a really shitty situation. It might be easier to just start looking for another place. Not having to deal with stuff like this is one of the reasons I'm glad I own my own house.

To me, it seems like moving is not exactly something the OP can just do.

Noise cancelling headphones for sleeping might be his only hope.
