WHAT is that NOISE?

last month

So there I was, picking tomatoes. I kept hearing what I thought was a persisent, obnoxious bird. Then I thought, "that sounds like a cat." Not my George, who was in the house sleeping. So I looked around and called for it, but as it did not go silent and did not appear, I figured it was just a bird, as I originally thought.

Well, today, my SO was letting Leo out, and called for me. I walked out onto the porch and you could HEAR its cries from down at my SOs shop. So we went to investigate.

Sigh. Two kittens. Very small, very spicy, no mother in sight. I only had regular dry cat food because that is what George eats so I grabbed a pack of tuna and gave it to them. They are NOT friendly. But luckily they are small enough to where I can snatch them up and there is little they can do about it. We left them water and the rest if the tuna in the shop, just in case mom comes back. They really are too small to be away from her, but I figure she must be gone because of the crying and how hungry they were. They fought viciously over the tuna, even though there was plenty for both.

I am off work tommorow, so I will see if I can get them in the carrier and to the walk in vet, just to make sure they are alright. I do not really need 2 more animals, but I guess its fine if they wanna hang out in SOs shop. I will have to get them fixed as soon as possible. Depending on the genders, I have names in mind. If they are both boys, Scrooge and Marley. If one or both are girls, Oogie and Boogie.

Good on you for looking after these little orphans! In your shoes I would do the same, and either keep them or find good homes for them. Every bit of kindness makes the world a better place.

Obviously, the white one will be Marley, as Marley is the ghost. The grey, Scrooge.

Or, if not Marley because one or both is/are a girl, white one Oogie, grey one Boogie.

A Christmas Carol is my favorite book and I love Oogie Boogie and collect Oogie Boogie stuff.

Agree with camlam. Going a bit further... This appartment itself is just terrible, there's a heavy roach infestation in the trash chute and our bathroom is growing mold. I was going to suggest some things to follow through on that, but rereading again, you've mentioned everything was fine for 9 months till noise started, and now the mold and roaches are bothering you as well? Have the bugs and mold been there all along? If so, 9 months into the lease is late to address it, kind of knocks your credibility. But you can try. If bugs and mold are newer developments, I'd suggest addressing it immediately from that angle. Because I'm about to suggest you consider moving. More on that below... Before suggestions, details on the mold. Where is it located? If it's in the tub area, you're only going to get a response that it needs to be cleaned regularly with a product with bleach or something like Tilex Mildew Root killer. It only takes about ten days of not cleaning before mold can appear in a tiled area. (I had one rental it was so bad in tub corners from not cleaning regularly I had to pull all caulking out and replace, mold had gotten under the caulk by that time.) But if mold is on a ceiling area, or a drywalled wall, or behind a sink, that could be indicative of too much humidity (exhaust fan is needed) ~or~ there's a leak somewhere (plumbing, overhead unit if there is one, roof above if there's no one above you). It's permitting moisture to seep through walls. If that's the scenario, you don't want to live with it and mgmt needs to be alerted because if they don't address it, it will only get worse and cause higher cleanup/repair costs. I'd suggested something in writing (Certified, so it has to be signed for) to mgmt/LL. This does two things: creates a paper trail as a record and shows you made an attempt to resolve with LL first. Don't make threats or be aggressive, just be businesslike and point out the issues and the health concerns. (Mgmt doesn't necessarily know it's there if you don't tell them.) If there is no response to your letter or action taken, then you might want to consider calling the health department. Approaching from this angle is going to prepare you for a move. If you're on a longer than annual term, health department violations not addressed are a legitimate reason to get out of a lease early (and where your written record of communication will come in handy). If, on the other hand, you're on an annual lease, I'd encourage you to start looking at other places soon, and not renew your lease there. Would it be too difficult to start thinking about a move? Imagine funds are tight with your DH in med school, but is that an option? I generally don't like to see "just move" as a suggestion, but if you're on an annual lease then you're nearing the end of your term and renewing it could feasibly lock you into the chaos that much longer. Your lease probably says you have the right to quiet enjoyment. That can be a tricky one to address, because noise is subjective. What bothers some won't phase others. But honestly, if mgmt is saying they can't do anything unless it's after 9PM, then odds are they won't be doing much about it. So maybe you can use the remaining term to look for a new place? Because if this woman is a screamer, has permitted her kids to scream and be disruptive, and she's comfortable displaying that behavior right from the get-go at move in, odds are not much is going to change those behaviors unless she's removed from the premises. Mgmt is going to need a really strong case to prove in court in order to evict someone from their home, and noise complaints usually need police visits with written reports as support documentation. Without that, it's one's word against another and very difficult to claim and prove. As a former frequent migraine sufferer, I feel for you (and could it be mold is a trigger?). LLs get this too. One of my rental homes has a newer neighbor like that. She's a real nut case, and the driveways are right next to each other. I will have that house on the market soon and that neighbor is going to be a deterrent to renting, she's that obnoxious. I learned from surrounding neighbors the police have been called several times because they (mom and teen kids) get out on the front lawn and scream, yell, teens argue and swear at each other, I hear it has gotten pretty out of hand. Neighbors don't appreciate all that going on in front of their small children, it's a very family friendly neighborhood. So police come, settle it down, and leave. I stopped there the other day to do a repair in prep for renting and she was on the lawn bellowing at her kids. But she wasn't breaking any laws, just being obnoxious. I figured swell, I'm going to start showing this place, it's warm weather outside now, and any prospective tenants are going to see what's next door. So it can be very frustrating from a LL point of view, too!

What is that noise???
Q
Comments (4)
That is a vague question, when did the noise start? how long has this noise been around? is it a constant noise? is it a hum or pulsing or nails on a chalk board noise? have you tried to listen for it in the day? have you tried to turn off your main breaker so no electrical power is on then see if you can still hear the sound? this will eliminate electrical power noise. if this solves the problem then shut off each breaker one at a time until you find the breaker that will silence the noise. Now you will have to find out what that breaker serves. narrow it down, if you find the noise then come back and let us know, if you don't then some other noise may creep in from bad karma and we don't want that do we.

What makes this noise in an AC system?
Q
Comments (3)
The gurgling and buzzing is normal and really exists in all units (i.e. it is likely you have nothing wrong but an irritating noise). I even listen for this noise when I first approach a unit because it gives me sign of it's "health" so to speak. There is an explanation and several solutions which use a lot of technical terms and even some elaborate devices which can be added to the system but, I won't go into all that right now. I'll explain as simply as I can and hope you understand (and also hope I explain it simple enough!!!)If the noise is noticable but not irritating or disturbing, I think the following is most likely the problem. It is associated with the refrigerant as it cycles through the line sets. If the lines touch the structure anywhere along the hollow wall, the noise can be transmitted more noticeably. It may be that where the lines enters the attic space, they are affixted to a joist or just laying against it. If they are affixed without a vibration dampening means, the noise will be more pronounced. A rubber grommet inside a fastening clamp usually minimizes the noise. The air handling unit where the evaporator coil is mounted should also be dampenedor the gurgling and buzzing will be heard also. Although there is not much noise associated with it in the way of gurgling, there is a condensate drain to drain off the evaporator coil. The buzzing is usually associated with the refrigerant leaving the metering device and the gurgling is associated with the liquid refrigerant going up the line to the metering device and some can be heard as the refrigerant is in the evaporator coil. When the unit shuts off, you may hear this noise more clearly for 30 seconds or so. I hope this helps you understand and if you should call a technician to remedy the problem, you'll have a better idea of what he'll be doing. Good luck and feel free to email me if you need more info!!

What is reasonable noise in an apartment/condo?
Q
Comments (8)
Hmm that's a tough one because there are a lot variables that go into it. What type of noise and when. There are also a lot of issues that (to me) are more bothersome than noise. Also apartment living is about compromise and consideration. Don't make or allow loud irritating noises especially at off hours (8pm-8am ish) and hopefully your neighbours are just as considerate. Our first apartment was probably a better community noise-wise. In our first apartment we were on the 3rd floor and the couple below us would fight so loudly that it would wake me up 3-5 times a week. Screaming yelling and also throwing things and (I'm speculating) punching the walls. The walls would shake in our apartment above them. Because of the nature of the noise I complained about them frequently and called the cops on numerous occasions. When they were evicted the landlord mentioned to me that the apartment was so damaged she was not surprised that I could hear/feel it. After the fighting couple was the second couple- the woman who was very sweet and the man who was slightly less agreeable. They had a yappy puppy who would bark endlessly whenever they left it alone. It wasn't so bad during the day but when they would go out for date night (2-3 times a month) he would yap during the same times I was putting my oldest (then not quite 2) to sleep. The yapping would wake him up every 20 minutes or so until they came back. I just talked to them about it and we agreed that they would keep him in his crate on the opposite corner of the house when they went out. Worked fine for us. However, afterwards the couple (obviously soured) was very quick to complain or bang on the walls if we did anything loud. Once I dropped something out of the fridge and they banged on the wall for like 30 seconds. There wasn't much other noteworthy noises at that complex- we lived there for 3 years. The people who are currently next to us (we share bedroom walls) have a young baby who cries a couple times throughout the night. I don't see this as an issue because it's not like the baby cries endlessly for hours and even if the baby did I would probably just switch bedrooms so that were not next to them. That is not something I would complain about. That is apart of community living in my opinion. The people cati-corner and on the second floor ( so not directly above us but above and over one) have a large hound dog who they frequently leave only on the patio. It bays ENDLESSLY. She starts up about 5 am when the army guys are going to work and ends around 7am and does it sporadically throughout the day as people come and go. Because they practically let the dog live out there(food, water, kennel) it shows (at least to me) that they aren't making a real effort to stop the dog from doing it. So that is something I would complain about. You also have to take into considerations people's schedules. The lady upstairs is a 1st shift worker so she is up around 6pm and then starts her day. Washing machine going, vacuuming etc at 9pm at night. It used to bother me until I realized why she did all this stuff late at night. However she does not do anything loud later than that. So all and all I think it's acceptable noise as long as it's not outrageous and the person make a conscious effort to be considerate of the community. I don't think it's ok to have a loud party at all in an apartment. That is not fair to your neighbours. That is not something that is everyday life and is avoidable. Our neighbours have their parties at our clubhouse, they have a large indoor space, access to a kitchen, bathroom and also all the amenities. The clubhouse is not near any buildings and doesn't disturb anyone even if the music is loud. I think that is perfectly fine ( and I am the closest building). Something that I am less likely to be understanding about and complain quickly is actually how people care for community areas. People not picking up dog waste, trash, cleaning out their car and leaving the trash in the parking lot. We also have a little group of kids who destroy areas of the complex which is really aggravating. They take trash from the dumpsters and throw them down the hill where they end up in the overflow for the lake. Its nasty. Especially when they get into the trash from remodeled apartments( fridge pieces, toilets etc). They also tear down pieces of the playground, dock etc. Long response I know! I had a lot to say on the subject lol!

I also thought it was strange to only have 2. Perhaps more will appear, though I admit I hope not. I really have no clue where they came from. I have not seen a mama cat hanging around. George does go outside but is neutered so they are not his, and frankly, he does not get along with other cats,so its a surprise that one felt it ok to move the kittens here. We have moved some of our cameras down where they are to keep an eye out for more and for mama.

You're likely saving those little lives 🙂

Perhaps they're the only ones left of a litter? I see that with wild ducklings around here - one by one a dozen or so dwindles down due to predators and other hazards.

Or the mother was malnourished and had a very small litter?

I would guess mom has moved on. I ended up with Margaret P. because her mother moved the rest and left her behind. I saw one when it was older just down the road. The lady next over would just scatter dishes of food around for her cats and of course the dumplings would move in. My other cat bitsy was dumped with kittens apparently but none of them survived. It was a wonder she was alive she was so starved. People...

Those are young enough to tame. Good luck with them.

Update: They hate me. But that is just because they do not understand me. They are VERY FERAL and very afraid. So I have just been feeding them and letting them be. I have picked them up when they were not paying attention and they did not fight me or try to get away, but as soon as I put them down they are back in both fight AND flight mode. They are still very small, but they are getting bigger and wiser and can see or hear me coming now so catching them to get to the vet will be a bigger challenge but whatever.

Today, they made their way out of the comfort of SOs shop, made their way up the hill and infiltrated our carport. I decided just to sit on the steps and hang out and let them get used to my presence. Scrooge made his way over to me a couple times, before thinking better of it and taking off, while Marley just sat under one of my cars and glared disdainfully most of the time. I do talk to them. Our conversation today:

Me: Merry Christmas Uncle Scrooge, God save ya!

*Hiisssssss"

Me: Christmas a humbug? SURELY you don't mean that!

*Hisssssss*

Me: Marley, speak comfort to me.

*Gremlin growl followed by hisssssssss*

Me: There's more of gravy than of grave about you, thanks to me you ungrateful little booger.

*FFT FFT Hissssssssss* (windmill fighting paws swinging at me.) Keep in mind I am making no effort to touch them at this time.

They are aggravating SO. He is anxious that we will accidently run them over or something. He would prefer that I would find them another home, and I will try to do so. But the fact is, animals are tough to find someone to just take them. My sister wants them but her husband refuses, and I really cant blame him. They have cats, dogs, cows, chickens, goats, peacocks, 6 offspring, 4 of which are adults and all of them still living at home. Who the HECK would want to add to that? Once they get bigger and easier to see and smarter about moving out of the way, SO will relax and all will be well, if I am unable to find them another home. I would much rather they get a life inside, which they will NOT have at my house. I will NOT dump them at the shelter or give them to a stranger under any circumstances. Better they be grumpy shop cats than take that chance with the evil in this world today.

Anyway, since they do not know their names yet, I was thinking instead of Scrooge, maybe the little gray one should be named Humbug. Humbug and Marley. Doesnt have quite the same ring to it but I think its a cuter name. I need to get a grip and remind myself that I am prioritizing finding them a nice home, and the lovely people that I am sure will take them will name them whatever they want.

I hear music tames the savage beast, so maybe I will break out my Muppet Christmas Carol Soundtrack. Or maybe find my Scrooge musical soundtrack, the one with Albert Finney. Maybe that will soothe their fears.

I have a trick for you to try. Cats have scent glands on the sides of their chins. Rub the sides while rolling your hands around... to get their scent all over your hands, mixing your scent with theirs. Then your hands will smell "friendly"...and it helps to carry them around...spend time with them. Also drag a string around...mama cats teach their babies to hunt...while playing.

Play and food. Or rather food and play. Chop up chicken into small bits and offer it first in a spoon and then a finger tip and so on. Try some catnip and see if they respond to it. If you can snag them up do the mom thing of rubbing them firmly all over. It establishes dominance. You set them back down . And put something on a string tied to a stick or just buy one from the store and flick it around. You can buy smelly cat treats and that goo in a tube at pet stores. Females are harder than males for some reason. You are doing the right things though, just being around It is a good sign they followed you to your house.

They are warming up a little. Very little, but I will take it. They know I am the food wench so Ebeneezer will come up to me, but still gets huffy if I try to pet him, while Marley keeps their distance but doesn't really hide anymore. They still fight ruthlessly over the food. I do not want to leave a bunch of food outside where they hang out because it will attract unwanted critters, so I will just have to feed them a little more often so that they know that more is coming, no need to have a MMA match over some kitten chow and meow mix in gravy. I tried to feed them in 2 separate piles, but it did not matter. They, of course, wanted all of everything to themselves. Geez.

Scrooge tried to introduce himself to George, king cat around here, this morning. George was NOT accepting an audience however, hissed at him and ran away. Sigh.

Although only two of my cats came from the street(alley), and they weren't feral, I've read a lot about taming ferals. I'm a sucker for animal stories on FB and Instagram. Put one of your unwashed shirts out where they hang out so they can get your scent. I have a ton of cat toys everywhere in the house, but what gets my two youngest ones running is a long piece of regular rope, which I drag across the floor. They stand at opposite ends and then stalk the rope till one wins. Try that to interact with them. Good luck. You're a kind person to help them.

Second update:

Scrooge, just as in the book, has completly turned around. He (yes hes a he) is now really happy to see me, likes attention and is almost fully tamed.

Marley is still and i fear will probably remain, a little afraid and very skittish. She will emerge from hiding when I pour the food in the bowl, but otherwise does not wish to engage with me. I can pet her while she is distracted eating, and can pick her up without her trying to skin me alive anymore, but she just isn't into me. Thats ok. I just want to be able to pick them up and put them in a carrier for vet visits without problems, and I think I can do that. I have put them in the carrier a few times, mainly to keep them coralled when my sister or her kids announce they want to stop by and see them,which I encourage for socialization purposes. Marley COMPLETLY loses her mind when she gets in the carrier,so I will have to work on that. Or get another carrier so that Scrooge doesnt get caught in the path of her wrath. Side note: One of my sisters kids, one of her 19 year old twin boys, really has a way with animals, and loves cats. Marley likes him. she is completly calm when he holds her and the ONLY time I have heard her purr or seen her make little kitten biscuits is when he was holding her and talking to her. My sister has the same way with animals, but Marley was not impressed with her, just her one son.

My cat George does not like them. At all. No surprise there. I hope that he warms up OR that I find a trustworthy person to give them a home. My sister REALLY wants them for barn cats, and while her husband protests, he will not deny her anything she wants, but is afraid that 2 of her dogs in particular might harm them, and so will not take the risk.

They have an appointment on the 13th for shots, worming and whatever else they need. I am going to really push for them to get fixed as soon as possible. I really mean as soon as it is physically possible to do it. A few vets I have seen before do not want to fix cats before they are 6 months old, and that just is not going to work. I am going to have to emphasize that unless I find a home for them, they are going to be barn cats, and waiting that long will risk them wandering off or getting pregnant. That is what started all this in the first place isnt it?

Third Update:

First vet visit went ok. Well, for them it did. I left very irate but that is neither here nor there. Vet estimates that they are 8-9 weeks old, which means they were 4-5 weeks when they first appeared, Both are exactly 2.27 pounds. Grey one is a boy. Officially named Scrooge. White one is a girl, named Marley, even though I debated whether or not to name her Fan, as that is Scrooges sister, but stuck with Marley, as I could not resist naming a solid white cat after one of my favorite ghosts.

As if I needed a reminder that I am in the south, the receptionist asked me if I spell Marley with a "ey" or "eigh." But to be fair, She also asked how to spell Scrooge and where THAT name came from. Sigh

Anyway, as my appointment was at 3, and the vet was only 15 minutes from my house, I ASSUMED I would have ample time to bring them home before going to work. But no, I suppose vet offices are becoming like human doctors offices. Appointment at 3, call back at 3:45, sit back there forever whilst they dilly dally, and did not leave until 4:30, so I had to bring them in to work with me for the night. And they did not do as i asked and put the flea and tick meds on them, even though they said they would. But whatever. They are at least wormed and have their first vaccines.

Great update amylou. Thanks for posting it. I was interested in what @NiCOZ5 said about possibility of deafness of the white kitty Marley. Did you have an opportunity to ask the vet about that or have you tried to determine by Marley’s reactions - or lack of - to sudden noises? Did anyone at your work express interest after meeting them? I was thinking that might’ve been an unexpected socialization opportunity.

No i did not think to ask about it KW. As I said, I was kind of, well actually REALLY irate by the time I talked to the vet, and I was trying very hard to hide that fact. I am sure they had a reason for being so behind and I try to be understanding and pleasant. Anyway, I was also kind of in a rush as I had to go to work and really just wanted them taken care of so we could go. The only thing I asked was that since this particular vet will not fix cats before 6 months of age, if I brought Marley in for her spay and she was pregnant if she would spay her anyway. The vet said she would do it if it were a very early pregnancy. I made it very clear that these cats will be OUTSIDE, and therefore wanted them fixed as soon as possible, but I am sure she has good reasons for holding off such a procedure, so I will heed her advice.

I do not think she is deaf though. Both her and Scrooge come when I call now, so unless she is just following his lead, I think she can hear me. I will try to remember and ask about it when I take them back for their next shots in 3 weeks. I made an early morning appointment, so lateness will not be as annoying.

While they were at work with me, many people came to see and snuggle them. No one wanted them of course, but now that have spent over 350 bucks on them just on vet bills, with much more to go I am sure, I am not really willing to give them away anyway. Lots of truck drivers played with them. Always funny to see giant. road weary men melt and become big marshmallows at the sight of small animals. Our lovely cleaning lady went absolutly NUTS over them. She held and talked to them for a long time. I have NO idea what she was saying as I neither speak nor understand Spanish, but I am sure Scrooge and Marley understood her perfectly. So they got lots of socialization that night, though they were not exactly thrilled with all of it. They were happy to get home and be back in familiar surroundings I think.

I hope they will be good mousers. They live in and around my SOs shop. He has had problems in the past with mice and rats going into his cars and building nests and doing a lot of damage to them. He has several race cars and hobby cars that are not used very often and any vehicle that sits for awhile is prone to such hazards. Maybe these two were sent to us for a reason.

Do not wait to get them fixed. A cat can easily have a first heat by five months and definitely by six and even though it might not lead to pregnancy it will increase the odd of Marley getting breast cancer later in life after her spay.

Do you have a spay and neuter clinic your area? They will normally do kittens. My previous vet (retired drat him) did it as early as possible. Eight or ten weeks. He was an exceptional surgeon though but the clinics get a ton of practice
