BTW: sounds dont correlate to flushing toilet, turning on faucet etc. I live in townhome and really cant tell which side the sound is coming from, so possibly could be neighbors but I dont know which one. I was thinking if this leak was the issue, shutting the water off to the toilet in question would solve problem but it hasnt. Need to change rubber stopper and maybe fill valve-although I shut water off to this toilet at the angle stop, the sound continues. I noticed that water is coming out of one toilet tank slowly leaking into toilet bowl. I have tried running water from all faucets/bathtubs for more than an hour with no results. I have tried shutting water off to each toilet and faucet with no result. For the last two days or so, the sound has been occurring every 3-4 minutes and lasts around 5-10 seconds. Sounds change in frequency, volume and length. I have been experiencing a fog horn like sound from the walls (thinking the pipes) for about a week. The Northern Lighthouse Board issued an instruction that all Lighthouse Foghorns should be fixed in the position they were in and not moved again.I must preface this with the statement that I am a new homeowner and know next to nothing of plumbing repair.
This however caused some confusion as sailors did not always know which direction the sound was coming from and could not judge distances properly as a result. The purpose of these tracks was so that the Lightkeeper could move the horn to face the direction of where the fog was thickest – to better direct the sound to those who would need it. On the top of the tower wall, there are tracks. Ex-Lightkeepers have spoken of the ‘terrible racket’ of the horn – although the volume would have undoubtedly been appreciated by those at sea blinded by the fog. The implementation of the Foghorn was a big improvement, as the sound could be heard up to 20 miles away in poor visibility.Ī new spiral staircase has been installed to replace the original ladder, allowing easier access for visitors to climb the tower and enjoy the view, as well as get close to the Foghorn itself and appreciate the size of it and the noise it would have made. Prior to the Foghorn tower being built, a bell was used to warn mariners of potential danger. A motor controls the flow of air to the siren, which gives the Sumburgh Foghorn its character, which is a seven second blast every 90 seconds. To sound the Foghorn, a valve is opened and air whooshes along the pipe to the Foghorn where it passes over a siren. It takes around 25psi to power the foghorn compressed air is stored in the receiver tanks, which are connected to the Foghorn via an underground pipe.
The Sumburgh Foghorn is powered by low-pressure compressed air, generated in the engines and compressors in the Engine Room. During the refurbishment of Sumburgh Head the Foghorn was restored to working order and will now sound again on special occasions. Recently restored and re-painted, the bright red trumpet points out to sea as it has since it was built in 1905 and put into operation in 1906. The Foghorn would have been heard for miles around (image by Frank Bradford) The Sumburgh Head Foghorn is a striking landmark.
