GNC - The office had the usual electronic equipment, so everyone had a desktop PC under their desk and a phone on it; there was a photocopier, a microwave, a fridge and a kettle. And - that was it. It was 2001 when this happened so there was nothing like WI-FI, Bluetooth speakers or electronic whiteboards. I think some of my co-workers had headphones plugged into their PCs so they could listen to audio without disturbing anyone else.
IbisNibs - I have been reading everyone’s replies back. I was expecting for my story to get a few likes. I did not expect such interest! Considering what everyone has said, I think there are two plausible explanations:
- An airlock in the meeting room radiator.
- A one-off or intermittent fault on a piece of electrical equipment.
The things that undermine these two theories are that the noise was a very specific one, and they do nothing to explain my old bosses story or the cleaners dislike of the place.
escargot - Vic Tandy - That's the man I was thinking of! I might re-read his study. I also seem to recall that he appeared on a Channel 5 documentary about staff having strange experiences in tube stations after hours. I think that he brought some measuring equipment which picked up high levels of infra-sound in the areas where the staff had experienced unease and heard noises.
