So idolatrare and I were woken up by this strange noise a few weeks ago, around 4:30 am. It sounded like heavy breathing, kind of, but not quite. So since it has warmed up, we’ve been hearing it a lot more, I think because the neighbors are keeping their windows up. At first, we couldn’t tell where the sound was coming from, if it was coming from another unit in our building, or the building next to ours — when it got really loud, it sounded like it was coming from someplace else than when it was softer.

We were hearing it at 6:30am, 11:00am, 2:30pm, and it would go on for 30 or 40 minutes before stopping. I even heard conversation once when it came to a temporary stop, a single male voice saying “Don’t joke with me. You want it don’t you? I can see the smile on your face.” Stranger and stranger.

We had our live-in sound engineer take a recording of it. You be the judge. Just what is strangenoise2.mp3 (1.8 meg mp3 file)? Someone having sex? By themselves? Torturing? Sloth from Goonies?
