On Reddit, other users blamed the recycling plant.“My favorite theory is River Metals Recycling,” one person wrote, claiming that the plant moved neighborhoods when the original location “wouldn’t put up with the noise from its metal shredder any longer.”

Others suspect the noise is coming from a failing turbocharger on a dieseltrain engineat the nearby CSX Queensgate, a major freight rail yard in Cincinnati.

While the yard routinely generates loud, mechanical sounds, residents say they’ve never heard anything like this before.

“We just hope to get to the bottom of it, figure out what it is, and if it’s, you know, a temporary thing or not,” Herold told the news outlet.“And hopefully the community can rally if it’s not temporary, because it’s really impacting us.”
