High pitch noise outside?
Discussion
Bit off an odd one this but recently I've started hearing a high pitch noise in the back garden / when I've got my window open (faces onto back garden).
I can only describe the noise as high pitch, so high pitched in fact my mother can't hear it (I'm 17), it usually seems to go on for around 16 seconds and then stop. I'm sure my brother (19) mentioned hearing it as well.
It's starting to get annoying, especially now the weathers clearing up so I want to be outside and have my window open!
We live in a rather 'normal' estate in Kent. The only thing I think could be possibly causing it is the pylons that run a few hundred feet behind our house.
Help! I'm going slowly (more) insane....

Apparently the mosquito thing is 17.4 kHz. I would have a look in your neighbours gardens for any PIR devices. There are sonic cat and dog deterrants. I just wonder if they may use a frequency in range for you. They are supposed to be ultra sonic so should be over 20khz which is the upper human limit. Dogs can hear to 60khz so there is no real excuse. Maybe an idea if some manufacturer has a different idea as to that is ultra sonic.

My 15year old son always complains of a high pitched noise when we go to Co-op, I can't hear it though
The co-op food stores have anti-chav sirens in operation. My eldest had the mosquito ring tone a while back. He was two rooms away & through a shut door when I asked him to turn that wretched noise off. I'm 37.
Actually I've just realised I'm 38. Just my memory that's failing. Hearing is ultrasonic.
You're 17. It's *all* your fault, you know. You stole the computer you posted that on, didn't you? Also, did you mug your English teacher for all that grammar? He'll die without those correctly-placed apostrophes. You probably only want the window open so you can smoke drugs out of it. As for going outside - no! You should be inside on your PlayBox 360 where you belong, otherwise how else are we going to moan that you aren't getting enough exercise? If you DO go outside it'll only be to hang around in a gang and go steaming through the local shopping centre.
The buzzing you can hear is either your creeping sense of realisation that life is utterly s
t and will only get worse from here on (it's like an air raid siren for misery; mine developed at 21 but then life was simpler then), or possibly an ultrasonic dog fence. Any neighbours got pets? Look for collars with small boxes on them.
Pylons emit a crackling buzz. They're quite audible, especially when the weather is damp. It's not an especially high-pitched sound, but it is continuous. Probably not this.
