Council still investigating mysterious noise heard for second night running in Leeds

READ: Council investigate reports of 'strange noise' heard across Leeds last night

Residents have been using social media to try and get to the bottom of what is causing the unusual sound, which has been described as a high pitch hum or buzz.

Members of the public claimed it began on Thursday evening and did not end until the early hours of the morning, before cranking up again on Friday evening.

A Leeds City Council spokesperson said that the noise definitely wasn't coming from LERF incinerator, but that investigations were still underway.

The spokesperson said: "We have received a number of reports from residents and were working to contact local businesses in an effort to ascertain the source of the noise."

The council has issued this advise on how to report noise pollution:

The council operates a night-time response service in partnership with West Yorkshire Police.

If the problem is noise outside of office hours, please ring 0113 376 0337. This is available from 6pm to 3:30am.
