RANCHLANDS MYSTERIOUS HUM JANUARY UPDATE
The Ranchlands Hum still plagues a number of residents. Happily, the City of Calgary is willing to help seek a resolution to the problem. The Noise Investigation Team, in conjunction with the City, wants to intensify the search efforts.
The first step in this direction is for the team to work with Calgary Water Works. The team has learned there is an auxiliary pumping station near Ranchlands that may or may not be a contributing factor to the Noise.
Water Works has said they are willing to arrange at test whereby they would shut the pumps down and see if the Noise goes away. In order for this to work, people affected by the Noise would have to be home and listening, shut things off and on in their individual homes and report any changes.
The team would like to hear from any Ranchlands residents interested in participating with this phase of the investigation. Once the team determines how many participants they are, arrangements will be made with Calgary Water Works. The time and date of the test will be made available soon afterwards.
Please contact the team either through the Ranchlands Community Association at 403-241-0356 or via email at jmidi@hotmail.com.

Mysterious Hum Recording
We have been receiving inquiries about the upcoming meeting regarding the Ranchlands Hum, also called the Noise.
At Wednesday's meeting people who attend will have the opportunity to hear an actual recording of the hum.
Our team has eliminated a number of possible sources and have a few promising leads to pursue that require a partnership with the City of Calgary. During this past year, Dr. Epstein used her survey to try to determine how wide-spread the hum was within Ranchlands. That survey has not only helped give us our leads, but also identified that there were several noise sources producing hums of different character.
A positive is that because of her survey, Richard Patching's expertise and Terry Avramenko's support along with that of the Ranchlands Community Association, we were actually able to track down sources of noise in the community. However, we are still pursuing the hum that started all this. We haven't found that, yet.
The meeting starts at 7:00 PM, at the Ranchlands Community Centre, on Ranchlands Blvd in Calgary. All interested people are welcome to attend.

Open Invitation: Ranchlands Community Association Annual General Meeting
The Ranchlands Community Association would like to extend an open invitation to attend their AGM on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 7:00 PM at the Ranchlands Community Centre.
The Noise Topic we have been pursuing these last two years will be on the agenda.
We encourage as many of you to attend as possible. This is a civic election year. That being the case, we may be able to get the City of Calgary to give this issue the attention it requires. Your support will go a long way to helping this happen. To date, the City and our Alderman's office has done little to assist us in finding a solution to this problem.
Looking forward to seeing you there!
Best Regards,
D. Negrey

Noise Log
Greeting All,
We hope this message finds everyone in good spirits as we begin August.
We would like to request two things from everyone suffering from the Noise problem, please:
1. A request for you to start a "Noise Log".
This could be a calendar, free from places like Co-Op, on which you simply write down the time of day and the level of the Noise. For instance, this morning I noticed at 11:00 AM the Noise was moving between a 5/10 - 6/10. On my calendar, I wrote "11 AM: 5/10-6/10". If you do not notice anything on a given day, simply leave it blank.
2. Sharing how things have been at your place lately.
Please write this down on your Noise Log in addition to emailing the group.
We need the comparative anecdotal data because it's not possible for us to have electronic monitoring devices running simultaneously at a number of locations. We're also overwhelmed trying to compile data from various respondents who contact us through email with daily observations. There have been a couple strong leads surfacing these last few months & your Noise Log will go a long way to helping us pursue these.
Looking forward to hearing back from everyone!
Take Care,
