Do You Hear A Ghost?

Noise According to the Green Bay Press Gazette Bob and Leona Ehrfurth have an unusual problem. They say that there is a mysterious unexplainable noise that's rumbling through their house that started two years ago. They have lived in the house for 42 years.

It sounds something like a rumbling motor, with a subtle vibration that won't quit. Then it stops — especially when they try to show others like city officials or acoustic experts what they're hearing. Its very strange and it keeps Leona from sleeping. "It's like there's a semi parked right outside with the engine running, but when you look out, there isn't one," she said. Her husband can sleep through it but also finds it irritating. "It doesn't matter if the windows are open or closed — you still hear it," he said. "It's worse in the winter." They don't hear it when they are out of the house so it is not "in their heads".

City officials hired a company for $1,000 worth of testing in the house this spring, but the tester came up with no noise and no significant vibration. Alderman Andy Nicholson knows exactly what's bugging the Ehrfurths. "Yeah, I've experienced it," Nicholson said. "It's like an engine thing, a low-frequency vibration. I think it would be an annoyance."

Investigations have turned up nothing: The couple said the noise started soon after St. Bernard's Parish across the street had the roofing, chimney and ductwork on a wing of its school redone. However, when the parish staff turned off all of its equipment as a test, the noise continued.

It is all very mysterious and while I am sure there is some reasonable explanation, none has turned up yet.
