Noise problem at Telus building - 826 Yates St
For the past 13 days there has been a constant loud noise coming from the rooftop of the Telus building at 826 Yates St, Victoria, BC. It sounds like a vacuum cleaner. It's been going non-stop 24 hou...
Hi there,
I'd like to follow-up on this thread-this issue is occurring again and has been for some weeks now. My fellow neighbors and i are experiencing distress due to this, we are in a high rise building nearby. This noise is ongoing 24/7 and completely unreasonable- even with windows closed, it is penetrating our private spaces. Can you help?
Hi Annex,
Yes, the noise started again about 3-4 weeks ago and has been going 24/7. Agreed that it's very annoying and disrupting! I've been in contact with the building manager recently. Today he said the main HVAC system is offline again for maintenance and that they are waiting for some parts from Trane (the HVAC company whose equipment is on the rooftop) and he will let me know if/when they provide him with a timeline for resolution. I'll post here again with any more info I get.
I appreciate the reply and the information. Thank you.
And thanks for being pro-active last time, it was a great relief when it stopped for that brief period. Unfortunately, the city by-laws' wait time is also lagging, i have recordings from different times of day etc.
Thanks for adding your voice here. It's good to know I'm not the only one going nuts from this noise 🙂
I also contacted Victoria city by-law the first time (before getting in touch with the building manager) but they seemed too overloaded to be able to handle it as you can see from my original reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/VictoriaBC/comments/1jlhx9q/equipment_failure_noise_at_telus_building_826/
