We have a new pipeline below our house. There is a LOUD rumbling sound that sounds like a truck idling, but there are no trucks around. What is this? It’s very annoying. How do I find out where it’s coming from and report it? It used to be so quiet here in the woods.
How is there a new pipeline under your house? Are you saying they actually put a pipeline under your existing house? That would be most unusual, especially since it sounds like you are in a rural setting.
A little more information would be helpful. Where are you located? Is it a gas or oil pipeline? Who is the Company? From your description, I would guess you are near a compressor station.
Steve - the pipeline is down the road from us maybe an eighth of a mile. It’s gas, they are all over the place here in Northeastern Pennsylvania. I live outside of the Scranton, Pennsylvania area and I can’t tell if they are putting a pumping station in down below; it’s in the woods. I’ve been told we shouldn’t be able to hear the pumping station and it’s not every day. The past two days I haven’t heard anything. I’m hoping it’s just work they are doing that isn’t going to be all of the time. This pipeline is going to Virginia from what I hear.
If the pipeline is still under construction then it won’t be a compressor station that you hear. The compressors will be running only after the line is in operation. Sounds like you are dealing with construction noise.
