What’s that noise ? #1

Regarding the letter and your comments in last week’s paper: At 4 a.m. I heard the same noise. It was like a long train whistle with no variations, just one constant tone. It may have been a broken whistle on a train or maybe car alarm. After making certain it wasn’t our heating system, my husband checked outside and noticed it was louder in the front of our home (facing north onto Blue Smoke Park) than in the back.

We called 911 (in case it was a policeman in trouble) and could hear other calls about the same noise being answered in the background. At that point they did not know what it was, just where the calls indicated it was being heard.

Did you hear any more about it? If it was a train noise, I would like to know.
