A mysterious humming noise in McCalla has the residents there scratching their heads and looking around to try and find the source.


About a week ago, Charles Cleckler started hearing a strange noise in his Loveless Park neighborhood.

"I got to listening and I said,'That's a funny noise.' And it seemed like it would go and come. It'd get louder, then it'd ease off...then get louder again. Now it's just constant," Cleckler said.

That constant hum has been compared to the whirring of a helicopter, the sound of locusts, or sirens far off in the distance.

It's an obvious buzz, but where it's coming from is unknown. Folks have been searching all through the neighborhood and the woods, but can't seem to find any source.

"Well, we went in every direction trying to pinpoint exactly where its coming from. And we can't do it. You go one way, it sounds back the other way. You go another place it sounds back the other place. So it's somewhere in this area right here but I don't know where," Cleckler said.

He said the noise began around the same time his power came back on after the storms, which is one possible explanation for the odd sound. As for other explanations, Clecker joked that it could be a UFO in the area.

Whatever the noise may be, it's a mystery that McCalla residents hope will be solved soon.
