@@NinjaXavier yeah mine is super high but last year I got a new frequency lower down which is really awful, still higher than Bridge Sound though. I had some of what I assume is hyperacusis with the new one for a fortnight or so before it settled in.

This reminds me, I have ladders on my work vehicle and it makes they same kind of hum, because the wind is going through air gaps and air vents through the bridge. Kinda like how whistles work!

Its humming like a strong wind blowing thru a guitar, making the strings vibrate. Put varying weights at strategic points, to prevent this harmonic resonance.

Uh-huh?!? How many comments I've left that you think your use-case of present-participle is dead-on, Mr "@Mark Irwin"? And while you're at it: Are you willing to remunerate me for teaching how to delete not just one's own RUclips® comments, but even others'?( Should I also have to spell-out what I mean by that?)
Assuming if anybody can include myself, I did. Actually. Hours before your fellow 'Anonymous Coward #_____' of a troll in Mr "@Mark Irwin" baited me and oh-so-shockingly, since my comment was on a literally "show, not tell" basis in spite of being _pro bono_ - the oh-so-lovely, strategically-deployed 'algos' wiped off my 1st-ever comment in this thread once I submitted its good-faith edit which was meant to fix the "auto-incorrect" typo there, as well as the 1 of those 2 original-replies by him, Ms "@@heatherwendt7911".
I used to have a toy that made that sound. It was a 3’-4’ long flexible, plastic tube you would swirl around over your head and depending on how fast it would cause it’s pitch to go higher or lower and sound like this. What’s creepy is it’s doing it now instead of over the entire life before. What has changed now that the bridge is doing this. Is it warming g is that it has a failure point developing?
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jun/13/golden-gate-bridge-hum-noise-san-francisco “After studying this phenomenon extensively, we’ve determined that the sound comes from new and more aerodynamic railing that we installed on the west sidewalk,” said bridge spokesperson Paolo Cosulich-Schwartz. “It was part of a Golden Gate Bridge retrofit designed to protect the bridge for future generations by allowing it to withstand sustained high winds up to 100mph.” Though I don't think it's fair to blame it on the suicide prevention barriers, since “With the impacts of climate change leading to more severe weather events, there was even more urgency to complete it as soon as possible.”
The railings on the West side are a new design and responsible for the sound. The original Eastside, are made of thick steal and the new ones of much, much thinner. Not hard to figure out, only more expensive to retrofit and fix.
Interesting...if this has only been going on for the past year or so, I wonder if it's tied at all to lower strain on the bridge (I assume the number of cars crossing it decreased dramatically since covid19 hit). Also, I wonder what frequency the hum is hitting at and if it's resonating with anything else in the vicinity
I love it! This happens when resonant frequency is achieved. The design team for the 2020 construction project didn’t employ an engineer fluent in vibration mechanics.😂
@@nudetaynehatwobble That was a very poor response. I do not condemn success. Good for them if they can afford to live in the most desirable areas of the city.
Was at the bridge, in SF yesterday. wind was about 15 mph. No noise. Went to the Wave Organ and nothing either. Perhaps the organ tubes are clogged, because the tide was high and plenty of waves. Love nature.and sounds
Idk I'd be nervous riding over that bridge, expecially because this is a new sound. What has changed to make this happen. Change is good but not when it comes to a bridge. 😂
Should tie the vertical cable strings together at various places to prevent them from individually vibrating in the wind which perhaps contributes to the terrible noise.
I hear two notes at different pitches, one flat, each one wavering in intensity. I would guess one is caused by the supporting cables and one by the upright towers. The wavering is caused by wind gusts. I suggest suspending study fabric panels between some of the structural elements. However, this might cause cars on the bridge to swerve on windy days, causing accidents. I am sure the engineers will find a solution.
If that is a phenomenon that has stared recently... Then I would be worried bout structural stability such as the banks and the abutment are shifting inward or something like that.... Don't see why it would start up now after all these years.... How old is that thing anyway, more than likely time for a overhaul on her
Some of us hear this anyway and don't live in UK ..it's called tinnitus and hypercasis ,a medical condition,at least you only hear that bridge when it's windy,stop complaining
Let's Ask Jay Leno to Electric Bicycle the Length of the Bridge Wearing a Soundwave Monitor On his Safety Helmet !!! That Should Conlude the Testing and Give Science The True Answers They Seek , Question::: This Bridge Has Been Erected a Long Time Now , is this noise just now being noticed or gaining attention because of the Lockdowns or Have the Aliens Moved into the surrounding Waters over the Last Year ? How Much money can we blow on this Instead of Helping with the Homeless People , Humans or Not !!!????
What's the big deal? They get to live close to the golden gate bridge after all. They should consider themselves lucky, most people can only dream of living there. The majority of people don't have enough money to live anywhere near the GG Bridge,. The housing cost is prohibitively expensive. SO forgive me for not feeling sorry for these whiners. Also what an epic waste of money.. The people complaining should foot the bill for the study.
I’m sure everyone is going to love this sound at 3 am. 🙃
I think it sounds beautiful and relaxing.
It calls to them. It calls and they come to jump. The ring of death.
Yup. That’s the sound. That’s what I’m hearing at Ocean Beach today.
Yes, it's been humming for two days now...I uploaded another video of it yesterday.
Glad normal people get to experience tinnitus 🤩
Though the reality is a higher pitch 😭
Have you or a loved one experienced tinnitus? Then you may be eligible for financial compensation!

Not as fast as my Corolla
Of course it's a fast bridge; it's painted red and everybody knows red goes faster!

yep same once i go above a certain speed those ladders start singin', it has gotten to the point i forget its there.
All I see is two giant tuning forks sticking straight to the sky.

Now you understand how serious living with *tinnitus* is and we have no one looking to resolve our issue.

Interesting. Hours ago I heard the first sounds from interstellar space, now this.
No, you didn’t.
Hum or no, wouldn't it be great to have a view like that from your house?
Any one seen "Fringe" sounds like the bridge is about to pop into the other dimension.
That was a great show!
Amazing
It looks like a massive tuning fork with strings. I'm waiting for the woodwinds to arrive 🤷♂️
Things would really get interesting if percussion showed up.
Great! The Bridge can now sing... doesn't it know any other tunes?
sounds like a video game soundtrack
Lady Gaga?
If two blonde sororal twin sisters heard these eerie sounds, they'd want to hide inside the Mystery Machine with the Scooby-Doo gang.
Wow this would drive you bonkers.
Sound of nature 🙏😊
This should be added to the white noise app!
it's a Major 9th
If it's this loud miles away is it deafening from the bridge itself?

Why is it starting just now and not years ago?
Railings were modified last year and make a noise in high winds. This started at that time.
C# ?
I hear approximately 330hz, 440hz and 483hz when I compare to a tone generator. That would be E4, A4 and B4.
I got A and b flat
Can someone with perfect pitch tell me what notes the bridge is playing 😂
It's sing an A note and a B note over and over.
My double glazed windows do this when traffic drives past. Ugh!
Tear it down and start over
Tear it down and start again
I wonder if tectonic plates moving has stretched the bridge making the cables tighter....
No. Railings on the bridge were modified last year and make a noise in high winds.
I one time met a woman who tuned the radio to that static sound , i couldn't get in to (it) so i unmet her !!!
Wow. Both a bridge and the world's biggest aeolian harp.

Should tie the vertical cable strings together at various places to prevent them from individually vibrating in the wind which perhaps contributes to the terrible noise.
No, this has nothing to do with the cables. Railings were modified last year and now make a noise in high winds.
