The window of my apartment unit faces the rooftop of another building. Whatever machine/vent/generators sitting on the rooftop of that building makes a constant medium-high pitched noise 24/7. Maybe close to a C6 note on the piano or 1000Hz. It sounds like a never-ending beep. I can hear it loud and clear with the window open and it is still very audible with the window closed. Unless I turn on constant white noise, it is very hard to ignore.
Used a decibel meter app on my phone, it was around 55db with the window cracked open. Not sure how accurate that can be.
Other than white noise, is there anything else I can try to do? Would this be a valid noise complaint case to make to the city?
