Residents in a New Jersey apartment complex say they’ve been living in a “pure nightmare” for the past four months—struggling with a loud, mysterious noise that disrupts their sleep and daily life.
The constant sound, described by neighbors as a low-frequency hum or vibration, has left people frustrated, stressed, and even considering moving. Many report that building management and local authorities have been slow to identify the source.
What residents are saying
“I can’t sleep, I can’t focus,” said one tenant. “It’s driving everyone crazy. It’s like a constant, unending buzzing.” Others in the building have reported headaches, anxiety, and general distress caused by the noise.
What’s being done
City officials and building management say they are investigating the cause. Engineers and acoustic specialists have been called in to test the building for possible sources, including:
- Mechanical equipment or HVAC systems
- Construction work nearby
- Electrical issues or vibrations through the building structure
Authorities say it may take time to pinpoint the problem and fully resolve it, but residents are being urged to document every occurrence to help with the investigation.
Why this matters
Persistent noise like this isn’t just annoying—it can affect mental health and quality of life. Experts warn that long-term exposure to unexplained or disruptive noise can increase stress and cause health problems.
Residents are hoping for a resolution soon, but for now, the “pure nightmare” continues in this New Jersey apartment complex.
