I’ve recorded in French, as it was originally not meant to be a vlog, but since everybody is as curious as I am now, I’m posting it. I’m basically explaining that the cranes are definitely part of the resonance I can hear from my flat, in addition with the excavator which is at the opposite side (my building is more or less in the middle).

The last part of the video is what I could hear from the opposite side (at ground level) of the cranes, more or less at equal distance. (That is to say, distance from my building to the cranes = distance from the cranes to where I was this afternoon, but behind it). It’s the same noise, but in high tones, while I hear deep tones in my flat. It’s really confusing.

The noise has been gradually fading away for the past few days. The start of the week was something, though. It was really unbearable and made my ears have this very strong vibrating sensation. I can still hear it, but it’s less dramatic now. It’s still making this annoying vibration in my ears from time to time.

The fact it’s fading is even more confusing. Part of the resonance was definitely the excavator, along with the trucks, which I can also hear as a normal noise when they leave and come back. But it really seems that the main noise was the cranes, which are moved to different spots, I guess, but remain around the building, in a fixed place. The buildings look finished, they’re putting the tiles and windows now. They’ve been building it for a year and a half, and apart from a few times last year, I didn’t hear that resonance at all. That’s really odd.

I feel like we’d need the Jamy guy (from French tv) to explain like we’re 5, because it’s such a mind blowing phenomenon. I can hear clearly both the trucks and excavators and the cranes, but when I open the window, most of the time, there’s no noise at all. It’s also not very noticeable day time, seems to stop around 17h, but becomes very loud around 22h-23h (and happens all night long). It’s odd as they seem to be doing the same things around the clock. Some nights when I open the window, I can hear the high pitch noise, but other nights, I only hear the resonance.

I’m really confused right now, as I looked out my window and the cranes lights are off. There is no way they’re working in the dark. But the noise is back, just like everyday for the past week and it started around 22h tonight. Is that just the excavator ? Is it something else ? Did I miss something ? Are the cranes making more noise when they’re idle and off ? How ? I kind of want to know (and to stop too tbh). This is just so weird.

Edit : I’ve edited the video; I removed the sound (the airplane noise). I want this video to reflect the quietness by the lake…

It’s the dog that I brought with me to the lake, not my laptop. I have been proofreading “Just a game” in the recent weeks, though. The first 2/3 of the novel is good to go. Well, allegedly, since it always seems there’s something to improve. I don’t think it will be published before the end of the year; I need to finish proofreading it, and also make an art cover, which I’ve started to draw, but is not finished yet. For legal reasons, it won’t be a picture of this lake here. I didn’t feel like attempting to draw a willow tree in Blender, even though particle system should be lighter on my cpu and gpu than whatever I did last time with the flowers that broke my old computer, so I opted for something else…

I’ve rewritten a few chapters (21 and 32). The overall story remains the same, but some smaller storylines are different. I’ve clarified some things and changed some details. There will be 49 chapters as I’ve decided to break chapter 36 into 2 chapters, which I’ve reworded a lot.

I’ll try to make more videos and not completely disappear.

I did stumble on “a bit” of propylene glycol recently and had to take a short break, but I’m feeling better now. Thank you all for your concern.

Note that there’s a tiny spoiler in this video (towards the end), if you haven’t read the novels yet, you might want to skip it.

The sound gets better after 1mn.

Well, in my preview, the video player is responsive and vertical. But in the blog post, it’s not. Maybe it’s because I’ve tweaked the code ? I’ll look into this, at some point. On computer, you can watch the video full screen if you find the player too small. Here’s the direct video url. On phones, it plays vertically, although not full screen (my video is 16:9 anyway), but if you tap on full screen, it’ll switch to horizontal.
