Re: What could this be from?

It could be wind currents.

At night sound travels farther than you think compared

to the daytime.

The location of the bedroom and the dinning room are

aligned with the source of the music.

Sometimes I hear voices in conversation. Once I

tracked it to a couple in their backyard three doors

down. Other times I don't know who is talking outside

at 2or3 o'clock in the morning unless it is the wind

playing tricks.

Drives you crazy, doesn't it?

In general, yes, sound travels better at night, because (in general)

humidity levels are higher at night than during the day, and sound

travels farther through humid air. Other factors could be wind currents,

fewer competing sounds during the night, particular frequency resonances

peculiar to your specific situation (this last part is over my head, to

be honest). Although, when I was a kid, I actually did get radio

reception through the braces on my teeth once--it was a Top 40 radio

station in Myrtle Beach. It was very, very strange to hear the song " The

Night Chicago Died " coming from the inside of my mouth.

Here's a web page that has links to technical aspects of sound

attenuation, if anyone here is so inclined:

This is a very interesting list. So far, I like it here.

There are a lot of things in my house that vibrate (and thus make

sounds) in resonance with various kinds of traffic outside. Sometimes

it can be very annoying or even painful.

It's almost certainly something with an amplifier in it. It's probably

picking up a local radio station.

Without an electrical amplifier of some kind, your house won't pick it up.

You're looking for something like:

- A TV

- A stereo

- Computer speakers

- Baby monitor

- Some types of telephones

It's probably in the room you hear it in. If you unplug each of these,

you'll eventually discover it, if my theory is right.

Yes, they'll pick up strong radio signals and amplify them through their

speakers.

Why would I only hear it between 10 and midnight?

10 O'clock because things get quiet and you go to bed around there? I am

not sure.

Midnight because some radio stations will reduce power at midnight.

I am wondering how much dental work you have? It has been known to pick up

sounds.

No dental work at all. Someone suggested that it could be anything

electronic with speakers. I haven't tested that theory yet, but I plan

to. Everyone gave such good suggestions! Having ideas of what it might

be makes it bug me less. Yay!
