🥺Constant humming noise🥺

I have a question for those who live in the Henderson, Henderson Valley, Oratia, Sunnyvale, Swanson, Ranui and maybe Te Atatu areas.

I have a question for those who live in the Henderson, Henderson Valley, Oratia, Sunnyvale, Swanson, Ranui and maybe Te Atatu areas.

Have any of you heard the maddening humming noise happening at night time?

For so long now, the CONSTANT humming in the wee hours has become louder and for such a longer period now.

At first I thought it maybe a truck nearby that may have a refrigerated unit attached and it's left going to maintain the cold, then I thought about Tegal right at the bottom of Bruce McLaren Road, then I thought it maybe Huhtamaki off Henderson Valley Road and now I think it maybe coming from either road works (daft as they aren't working - haha) or even the orchid where they have the farmer's market.

To be honest, I think I maybe at the beginning of losing my mind from lack of sleep, the 100% nerve tickling constant humming each and every night.
I don't even know if the above places suggested have anything to do with it or not.

To those who suggest ear plugs, headphones, calming music etc ... everything has been tried.
Noise control aren't interested as it's not above a certain decibel, but the low humming is just as bad, if not worse as it's constant.

A couple of nights ago, it sounded as though it was humming really loudly from the ground up.

Is it so wrong that I want to stand outside at night and scream or should I be reaching for the bottle (who can aford that now?)?

I will be interested to hear your thoughts and/or experiences with this maddening noise.

First we had Woolworths, then came the 'more fresher & modern' Countdown and now they are taking us back to where it all started!!
www.stuff.co.nz...

Insert double facepalm HERE!!!

Woolworths Group said it planned to invest more than $400 million over the next three years to rebrand its network of 194 stores - WTAH??

They jack up the prices so regularly and so severely, for what exactly?
Are we the mugs who are paying for all of this rebranding?
Are we the mugs who continually swallow the dressed up BS as to why they do this sort of stuff?

It absolutely beggars belief that after the so called investigation into the duopoly and grocery prices, that this crap is allowed to continue to happen.
The arrogance of it all, sheer arrogance.
It's like a great big thumb to the nose at each and everyone of us.

"Woolworths said it would offer “more value for customers”" - I call BS on this. Call it what you like, it's still daylight robbery for so many out here in the real world.

Let's be honest here, the Government won't do anything, why should they? They are reaping the rewards from the various taxes. This will be like having your very own golden goose.
All the while, we will still be crippled and held to ransom by all of this malarkey

The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, sad but oh so true.

SHAME ON THEM!!!!
