Strange noise downtown near 7th and Broadway

[jeffvb9]

Anyone in that vicinity know what the loud noise (sounds like a saxaphone or some instrument playing just three notes)?

It started last night about 9:00pm and has been going ever since.  I had ruled out someone at the loft building where I am at since it was still going this morning.....

Folgers.

Some motor or belt is groaning in the cold.  Walk over to May Street and you can hear it better.

Thanks...

Just wanted to make sure I wasnt hearing things.

Heard a loud bang that woke me up last night (maybe about 11:30-midnight), it sounded like it came from the East of me (10th and Penn).  Loud enough to wake me up, but not loud enough for me to care what it was.

When I lived at 7th and Broadway 10 years ago, I believe Folgers ran those pumps 24/7, which is probably better than the stopping and starting, because after a while it becomes a white noise that you don't notice.

I did live on the back side of the building though - I couldn't hear it unless I opened the windows.

What's that big thing across from Folgers on 7th that always gets encased in an insane amount of ice during the cold?

it's always covered in ice, even when it's hot outside. no idea what it is...

Maybe it's a ghost. They're everywhere, you know.

something to do with freeze-drying the coffee.  the prax-air truck is there once or twice a day with cold stuff.
