I live off East Franklin street & this constant droning noise is keeping me up.
Does anyone else hear it or am I losing my mind??

Oh my god that has to be it.
Guess I’m investing in noise canceling headphones 🙃

Do your self a favor and get yourself one of these. I can't live without mine. LectroFan

I'm intrigued. Is it better than a regular white noise machine?

It's compact. It has several different different tones to choose from. Mine has been running non-stop for a couple years. The sound is seamless with no audible breaks.

Cool, thanks. Might try that one out next time I get one.

I can attest that this little thing is awesome. When I did my research into them, this was the only one (with a reasonable price) that uses a process to create random background noise. A lot of the other ones on the market can have loops of sound, and eventually your brain gets used to the loop pattern and when that happens the white/brown/pink noise no longer works as well...

There are free fan apps for download. I have one that let's you shape the sound brown to white noise. No loops. Free. Just check them out. Great for hotel rooms or when I'm away from my actual fan. Which I'm addicted to.

True, but the little LectroFan is easy to pack since it's small and has better sound discernment than my phone, and as a fan addict, I also have a small one that can fit in my backpack that travels with me as well, since it's not just the noise that helps my mind shut up, but the air movement I like as well. The downside to being so used to this noise is when the power goes out, as I'm instantly away when it goes away...

It’s endless. Seems like it’s during the day too though? Thought it was the repaving but the overnight noise has dissuaded me.

I think I’m blissfully ignorant of it during the day and now I’m in a cocoon of it

Depending on exactly where you live, it may be related to the bridge deck replacement that's started on Broad Street over I95. It's part of an ongoing VDoT effort to repair several of the bridges that go over 95 through Richmond. (plus the new project to address the ramps onto 95 from Belvidere)...
