Re: Driving me mad

["David Amphlett" <dave_yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Probably totally off base but are you 100% certain it isn't a water /
central heating pipe - had one making a mildly high almost silent
whine-ing noise for a while which I was convinced was something I'd
left under the floorboards whilst wiring. Had the floor boards up,
couldn't identify where exactly the noise was coming from. Hunted
around for ages during which I leaned on a central heating pipe and
it stopped immediately! Fiddled with the pipe trying to get it to
make the noise again to be certain it was that but couldn't do it.
Haven't heard it since. Of course I could be going mad!
