I was driving down 22nd last night and when I got near Midtown I started hearing this really weird “eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee” sound. At first I thought it was my tires or maybe construction equipment but then I parked for a minute and it almost sounded like it was coming from downtown itself.
The weirdest part is when I drove away toward the river and looked back in my mirror I swear I could still hear it faintly.
Today my girlfriend and I were driving back from the vet with our cat Pickles and when we stopped near City Hall he started doing that EK EK EK EK EK thing cats do when they see birds or are stressed. Hair standing up and everything. He has literally never done that in the car before.
I know this sounds insane but does Saskatoon test any kind of acoustic equipment downtown? Like crowd control or emergency alert systems? I saw some post online about low-frequency sound making people anxious and now I’m wondering if they’re experimenting with something.
Or maybe the Bessborough finally woke up.
