    Wind-related, perhaps?

    maybe it's the roof work on ps 9?

    That's me flying at super sonic speed. I'll fly slower when in the hood.

    If you live nearish to the AY site then that's probably what it is. They began tearing up Dean St. yesterday to repave it. They use a backhoe to smash the pavement creating a "big boom" not to mention massive tremors that shake my apt. building. At least the road will look nice again...

    usually when they do work on the street they put down these huge steel plates to cover the hole untill the get around to filling it. whenver a big truck drives over these plates they make a huge booming noise.

    ive had to listen to it for atleast a week now

    it's the ps nine roofwork. i had been wondering myself [live directly around the corner, and it's been loud]. tonite, when i took the canine to run around in the schoolyard at around 8pm, workers were dropping large objects down a shute from roof to ground. demolition-related, it appears. big booming noise. they appear to start early and work way into the evening.
