There is this odd, almost metallic,noise outside the house. I can hear it in the kitchen, but it is loudest out the front. I have no idea where it is coming from, and no idea what it is. http://audioboo.fm/boos/270659-really-o ... eting-windI recorded it on my iPhone, and there is some wind buffeting going on - but what can it be? It's around 23:30 when I noticed it.

Sounds like the cables inside a lamppost vibrating in the wind. Either that or a house alarm from very far away being carried in the wind.

TBH I'm going with the alarm theory, it sounds very whiny to me.

Two people here think it's an alarm.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

Do you have anarmy base/range a few miles away, or a major installation(power station/nuclear). Could be a warning siren/firw alarm

No. Closest army base is Colchester. Closest nuclear station at Bradwell.

Is there a railway line anywhere near? I have one about 2Km away, and when they work on the lines I get a similar noise.

I am disappointed that you didn't chime in sooner. I am not disappointed by your answer, though.

Paul, perhaps it's Bratty and his über loud air-raid siren?

I have an image of him running around the fields betwixt here and Harlow, mouth wide open emitting a pitiful wail. It is a disturbing, and slightly terrifying image.
