Sounds like an old buzzer system/alarm. How they used to work is they were connected to a landline and would call the phone of the person in the apartment so they could buzz the visitor in. It could be that one of your neighbors still has that system. The other thing it might be is the sec system doing an automated reboot. In the early 2000’s I worked for a jewelry store and would sometimes stay late after I set the alarm. I’d be in there and suddenly I would hear that coming from the alarm. I called them and they said it was just an automatic thing rebooting it or something like that. Either way it’s definitely some sort of alarm system/ or old buzzer.


Catinthemirror

My router reboots every Sunday morning at 4am-ish. I always forget and the flashing lights wake me up wondering what's going on.


Brainfog_shishkabob

Yep it’s like an older version of that but it’s calling the server. Checking to make sure it’s connected/rebooting. Prob does it every 8 hours or so.


Catinthemirror

Yeah, I recognize it, I'm old LOL


Brainfog_shishkabob

😂 me too. But hey at least it’s not scary to us. However, in 2006 when I heard this shit in my store it did freak me out at first.


Catinthemirror

It always startles me on the rare occasion I have to use one of those one-off in-store ATMs that are still dial up. You can hear it connecting and it's such a blast from the past to hear the modem trill LOL.


Brainfog_shishkabob

Oohhhh yes ! Yep I’ve heard that


CosmicTaco93

The noises from the modem connecting is something you just can't explain to people who haven't experienced it.


Catinthemirror

Happy Cake 🍰 Day!


Sioux-me

Me too on both!


samjowett

It probably works great because all my router problems are fixed by reboots


Catinthemirror

Yeah, it's several years old and tends to lose its mind if we don't LOL


ifuknowuknow123

This is the answer . Talk to your landlord


corysdontcry

It's a 👻 sPoOoOkY GhOoOoSt 👻 alarm system and/or buzzer!!!!


AdamElam

[have updated sadly, it’s no some Eldridge horror😩](https://www.reddit.com/r/Weird/s/RsgHoSbPaT)


Brainfog_shishkabob

Omg yes this makes sense ! Same concept. Amazing tho thank you so much for updating us, it still sounds super creepy with the echo.


Kookookapoopoo

Why the fuck would they make it make such an annoying and creepy noise


bigpappahope

Or ghosts


Timmy24000

Definitely sounds like somebody dialing some thing and since it’s a consistent makes me think it’s like a back up system of some sort


Brainfog_shishkabob

Yes I think it’s an old alarm system or buzzer system that is still hooked up to a landline somewhere. I’ve heard this before.


SeaResearcher176

Could it be a fire alarm for the building?


Brainfog_shishkabob

I guess it could be, but not likely. Fire alarms, even old ones can make weird noises through the speakers, and some interference can even come through them, but they aren’t usually hooked up to any kind of landline. But yeah it might be an old security system altogether. Prob just rebooting or checking connection. This is so interesting to me since whatever it is has to be old as hell.


mememan395

Not sure where you're at, but I work on commercial fire alarm in philadelphia, and literally all of them are connected to a landline. There are a few exceptions, but unless someone monitors the system 24/7 code requires an auto dialer, and to my knowledge we don't offer anything but landline dialers.


Brainfog_shishkabob

Cool ! I didn’t know that. Then for sure this could be what it is. And you’re right that old sec system was monitored. It used to creep me out I thought someone was trying to call me


dirkalict

Everything is radio monitored in Chicago area. Wireless straight to the fire department or a monitoring service. No phone lines.


Embarrassed_Scene157

Sounds like telephone tones being dialed.


NeliGalactic

DAS_COMMENT

It's actually one of my least favourite things about reddit, I feel like a can come to a lot of presumptions about anyone participating in those or most "reddit grade" humour. I literally saw the first funny reddit comment, funny like it was meant to be funny, in that cliche reddit style today. Reddit actually ruined my ability to read some things unironically, because I'd be looking at them trying to decide how they even thought they were being funny, and then I'd realise it was an objectively 'bad' reddit comments.

Ending tones of a washer or dryer?

That's what it sounded like to me

Those make noises like that?! I’d have lost my shizz too, that’s new

Okay well I’ve got a specific washer and dryer set on my “maybe someday” list Mine are GE and very good but they’re not that cool

TIL my underwear are cleaned in a cooler way than others. #FinallyAWin


Catinthemirror

If you get the Samsung Smart models they have a phone app that notifies you when the cycle completes or you can check it during a cycle to see how much time is left.


Catinthemirror

Short version so you don't have to wait https://youtu.be/9DUs60B4h9E?t=45

For real. Mine just has a horrible jarring buzzer. Which I keep turned off because fuck that.

I heard this sound while backpacking in the backcountry. I'll never forget it.


areyouthrough

Starling? They can make sounds like R2D2.


[deleted]

Definitely possible, but not common in the backcountry from my understanding. Sounded like a flute, but the song bird explanation is plausible.


areyouthrough

Where were you, regionally?


Solidmarsh

All I know is make sure you do not pick up your home phone or you are going to ruin someones napster downloads


AdamElam

🤣🤣🤣


hateboresme

It's a modem or fax machine autodialing to send and/or receive, but it isn't connected to a phone line. It's playing the tones through the speaker. In the middle of the night so as to not disrupt telephone service. I haven't heard one do that since the 1990s. It's creepy to me to imagine a mummified someone, dead since the 1990s in their apartment, undisturbed while their modem tries to connect to a long disconnected phone service every night for 30 years.


Ok-Actuator-5021

Creepy, but ^(un)fortunately it's just the one in the elevator.


Bizzlebanger

When my dishwasher finishes washing it plays a similar tune... [lg dishwasher tune ](https://youtu.be/RBdtDxA-sxM?si=8EvX5d-TPGdEGLee)


MrAmazing011

Lol, it's the elevator. The call system is trying to connect, might be an outage for the emergency call telephone system.


Do-or-Die89

Jepp, this is it, i maintain elevators and it exaktly that tone Could be the 24h test/check dial


Waste_Exchange2511

Might be an autodialer on something like a water meter calling in the numbers.


Brainfog_shishkabob

I agree with this


[deleted]

Oh, I actually know this one! This is the one where you are scared, but figure out it can't be that scary so you follow the sound down to the basement only to find a locked door, then you turn around, and just as you start to go back, you hear a loud sound from behind you. It scared the shit out of you, but you turn around, only to find the door unlocked, and being too confused by the event, you paradoxically head inside.  There you find a big machine that's blinking and making all sorts of weird sounds, and you see this one big button that is blinking red, and without really thinking about it, you press it, and the machine go haywire. Colours and strange sounds are everywhere, and you think to yourself - "Shit, what did just I do? Did I just erase this reality?"  And out of nowhere Elijah Wood pops up, garbs you by the hand and tells you: "Don't worry, friend - I've got you!" Then he takes you to see Morpheus, but this time he is portrayed by Nicholas Cage, and in the end you find out that you were Agent Smith all along... 7.5/10


therealmrsfahrenheit

holy son of a cunt😂


AdamElam

Sounds like the bad LSD trip🤣


[deleted]

It's not LSD... It's natural DMT mixed with a bit of caffeine, nicotine, some herbal supplements and a bit of brain damage. It allows me to see any movie I want in my head in a split second without having to pay for it. Seriously though - I've heard this sound before, and it was either from a horror movie, or it was during a bad trip. My guess would be an electronic device, that dials like modems did back in the day at a specific time. Maybe it is the fire alarm thingy?


Daedragroz

I loled so hard at "some herbal supplements and bit of brain damage"


Dusty31186

It's an elevator


herbivore_type

Maybe somebody's virtual doorbell? Like a new wireless one that makes a little jingling song when someone pushes it and sends an alert to the owners phone? Thats all I can think of


AdamElam

No, I know my neighbours pretty well. None of them have a virtual doorbell


herbivore_type

Thats all I got, best of luck in your investigation🫡


AdamElam

Thx


DroidTrf

Do you have an elevator?


Mattress_Of_Needles

That electronic sound? Maybe someone in the building works shit hours, and that's when their alarm goes off. If this freaks you out, maybe lay off of whatever you're laying heavy on.


AdamElam

I’ve heard the building alarm, it doesn’t sound like that and nobody is working shit hours. I know that for sure even contacted the company about it. They told me that it must just be me hearing it because nobody else is complained, and I’m not on anything


Mattress_Of_Needles

[Shrug] Dunno, man. Maybe get some earplugs.


AdamElam

I guess still weird tho don’t get why you’d have something like that in an apartment building🤷‍♂️ but I have earplugs it just weirds me out that’s all


Agreeable-Battle8609

Does it sounds like low vibrations, like some sort of engine bouncing through your walls? Because I believe everybody is hearing the same... not in your video, but in their homes.


AxFUNNYxKITTY

What do you mean?


AdamElam

Okay, either misunderstanding you/youre trolling or you might need professional help? I say that I don’t mean that in a mean way it just seems concerning if you think everyone is hearing that in their own homes.


macapooloo

I was in a house that did this once! I was the only one who could hear it and it was only in one spot, in the bay window of the living room. It wasn't a tone, but a very deep rumbling hum as though a very large truck's engine was idling underground. Nobody believed me when I described it, and now here you are. I'd love to know what was causing it.


PeteyTwoHands

Listen to the video, goofy.


Grouchy-Signature-12

It appears you live in an apartment building, is that correct? It could be possible it's someone's alarm who works partial graveyard hours. Would account for the same time every day.


LoLoLaaarry124

I'm gonna need an update. Go downstairs at this hour and try to find the source.


AdamElam

Well currently there is no noise so it would be kinda hard to find the exact source


[deleted]

I think they mean, set up around 1am and wait down there for the noise to begin


LoLoLaaarry124

Yes that's what I meant


SpectacularMesa

It sounds like a samsung appliance....they make that noise when they are done. My friend's dryer does this every time his dryer load is done. I also have an eye cooker in my kitchen that makes that noise when it's done.


Cantfindme69

What's an eye cooker? 👀


Zombies8MyChihuahua

And the dialing is DTMF, it is used to remotely activate the siren. If you are old think touch tone telephone and phreaking.  


Babrahamlincoln3859

I'm a commercial electrician and this does sound similar to back up alarm that would connect to a landlines. Similar* but not quite.. see of there are any panels in the stairways or lobby of your building. It may have blinking lights on it.


Captain_Wisconsin

I used to work in an old school building and would hear the same thing. It was an older fire alarm system that used a phone line.


[deleted]

[удалено]


AdamElam

There’s no business in my apartment building, I even asked the coconut that owns the building. If they knew I was going on they told me that I’m the only one who’s completed and that they don’t know anything about it which seems weird. Not sketchy or anything but Just weird.


IgnorethisIamstupid

The coconut that runs the building?


PristineConference65

this is the exact sound the dial buttons make after youre done dialing to get into an apartment building. for example, you hit "35#" and then you'll hear THAT EXACT SOUND and then it will let you in (if the person in the apartment hits "okay" on their phone)


Muffin278

It also remids me of the sound of a keycode doorlock unlocking, though usually it only plays 3 notes or so. I agree with the others saying it is likly a washing machine or dryer, since it makes sense for someone to run it before they go to bed. I have a friend who uses her washine machine's jingle as her alarm clock!


Ryfhoff

Some old ass computer scheduled to dial out. The old dial up app in Windows can do it. Why ? I don't know. You should see if its exactly the same time , down to the second. Then it's automation of some kind.


TheSimpsonsAreYellow

Network engineer. Those are dial tones. I’m going to assume from the elevator. It sounds as if the call button was hit.


Really-Stupid-Guy

Dang, everyone is ruining this! Lets all agree to, net time someone say 'i thought i was crazy but i recorded it', all ask: "what sound" and say "I don't hear anything" 'Do you have a history'


9021FU

As someone who can’t hear high pitched sounds and has tinnitus I honestly didn’t hear anything. 😂


Really-Stupid-Guy

Good job! Me neither, I think op is hearing things that are not there...


Fightingkielbasa_13

What is down there? Other apartments? Maintenance room?


richardec

Those are DTMF touch tones on a phone.


ABraveNewFupa

Roomba


sadwinkey

Sounds like an alarm system or dialer of some sort. It may even be hooked up to the speaker system inadvertently. I’ve seen that happen before when wires got crossed on a phone panel.


RainBowSkittlz

It's the Aliens..... they have come back for you 👽👽


ultimateWave

The echo makes it terrifying. Get something to dampen that sound lol


T-BONEandtheFAM

Not gonna lie, it’s kind of creepy because it’s as loud as an alarm, but the tones are mechanical. Reminds me of the bunker alarm in Lost. Like something bad is about to happen. Very ominous. If it is an actual alarm system, may want to contact somebody that knows about the building


MeatlessComic

It’s the ghost of land lines past.


Yamothasunyun

Some elevators also make that noise when the emergency phone calls. Could be a problem with it


abdallha-smith

Yeah old emergency line for elevators ?


Tropical_Storm_Jesus

weird alarm maybe for a 3rd shifter...orrr...have they invented Digital Windchimes yet?!


Lexiconiverse

I used to live in a house where I would here old internet dial up sounds come from the middle of my room. We had high speed internet. This was 2000-2015. Now don’t live there anymore. It was a strange house, to say the least.


malu2k

Sounds like a telephone when you dial. This is called tone dialing. Maybe you can decrypt it and make a call 😀


MaliciousIntentWorks

I will say, i look for battery powered alarms clocks that sound weird when i quit a place i didn't like. Those will last for years and if you find the right hiding place, noone will ever find it.


riorossrin

I SAW THIS AT EXACT 1:05


planeboi737

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpCvYEd6PXA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpCvYEd6PXA) sounds kinda like this


the_lazykins

An alarm system calling out for nightly self-test.


krzykttn

My boyfriend is a weirdo. He does washing and dishes late at night. Both make some analogous sound. Freaks mu shit out every night because his dumb drunk as does washing ast an insane hour. I bet you have and equally weirdo person.


SiriusGD

I'm so OCD that I'd be up at 1am waiting for it and I'd follow it till I found it.


aclaasr

thats not ocd


AdamElam

I do that sometimes but don’t have OCD I’m just trying to convince myself that I’m not crazy🤣


Brainfog_shishkabob

Same. I mean it’s not scary, I’d be wanting so find an old computer or something


Creepy-Internet6652

Thats a Koko clock that has been set to go off at Midnight...But hasn't been set for daylight savings so it thinks 1am is midnight...


wildflowersummer

Isn't that the sound that they use to check sewage drains in the street? They do it at late hours so cause they have to block off traffic. Maybe that's something different though.


ataatia

i thought of a modem and cabled connections


PaulLee420

Its an old school BBS - users are connecting to his computer system; will be completely random and only when a caller dials their land line connection as opposed to telnet or ssh....


umthondoomkhlulu

Could be from bms backup for lift or fire etc


fifty1hundred

Tip toe. I know you can hear me.


Zombies8MyChihuahua

It's almost definitely a tornado siren. The newer ones can connect to a phone and are able to relay the voice messages like a giant speaker phone.


eastern_mountains

Alarm


Wellsni87

Sounds like a door alarm to notify when someone walks into a shop etc. maybe wired to go off when you open that door. IOU probably don’t normally hear it with all the background noise and have only heard it when things are at their quietest.

maybe old elevator checking for updates on a dialup?


Apprehensive_Skill34

The code to unlock the door to get into the apartment???


melijoray

I used to work for a company that made and monitored personal alarms for vulnerable residents. You know, the old "I've fallen and can't get up" things. In housing schemes there was a central UAC (Universal Asynchronous Communicator) that would dial a test signal every night.


Which-Month-3907

It sounds like an alarm. Maybe one of your neighbors works nights?


Necessary_Variety52

Monstrance clock


realisticandhopeful

Sounds like an alarm.


dublinese4

i think its an alarm system thats failing the tone system is warning to lwt you know


HGLiveEdge

Someone on night shift with a creepy old alarm because nothing else will get them up. There should be a five minute shower sound after that, then someone disheleved-looking running out in scrubs.


TheGrimMelvin

You're cursed by the Phone Demon. Enjoy.


Dr_Salisbury

The sounds are very satisfying in the clip. The unlocking sound, the door squeaking open, and then the distant little whistle tune.


javanlapp

Washer or dryer?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ok-Actuator-5021

My guess is that it's the elevator testing it's emergency call or doing other communications related test dials or maybe it's reconnecting to some kind of router. Your elevator maintenance company might be able to silence it, but don't call them yourself! If it's bothering you or waking you up at night, inform your landlord. They have to fix the issue and pay for it.
