Noise Story

 Our regional public news outlet (HR) went and did an interesting report over a noise problem.

So to encapsulate the story....for about a year, in Darmstadt (about 30 min driving south of Frankfurt)....there's been this hum/noise.....off and on....mostly at night....but not all the time.

For some folks, it's triggered sleepless nights.  Some report nausea and vomiting. 

Best description?  Kinda like tinnitus.  

General area affected?  If you go through all the chatter....mostly NE and center of town.  Some suggestions of a turbine or generator.  But no real consensus.

Turning into a major investigation?  Well....they are talking across the community and hoping to build some kind of map to isolate the noise zone.  

Darmstadt is one of my more favorite towns.....not too big, and easy access via the Bahn.  Size-wise, maybe 3km across and 10km N by S.
