That Noise this morning

[fontia.livejournal.com]

around 5:30 AM or so, there was a noise that reminds me of a cross between a construction machine back up signal and frogs peeping. At first I thought I'd check and make sure it wasn't an alarm coming from my landlords apartment, but it became apparent that it was outside. When I removed the ear plugs that were neccessary for sleeping through it I discovered it was still going on when I woke up at 7:30. Anyone know what this was?

I heard the same thing at about 1am, and I live off Central Ave... As far as I could tell, it appeared to be some kind of vehicle trying to back up all the way down our street... and not doing a very good job of it. I didn't get up to see what kind of car/truck/spaceship it was, though. It went on for at least 20 min, then I think I heard it going down Central.

It was still going on when I left the house at 7:35. It almost seemed like there were several of whatever was making the noise, answering eachother, but the intervals seemed to regular and repetative to have been something natural.

That was different. It was a truck backing into the driveway across the street, albeit poorly and for about a half hour.
