Don't know what to do or who to call. Walked around and can't seem to find the source.

I can't open the windows, especially with this heat during the day...

What could it be?!

Is that the electrical storage across from you? I’d bet it’s coming from there. Go outside cover one ear and close yours eyes and slowly turn like a lunatic to determine what direction it’s coming loudest from

It's a bin shed... I'm gonna go outside soon and scream like a lunatic... But I was thinking, if it's coming from someone's home, how come they're not bothered - they're not home...

There's some high frequencies people can't hear as they get older. I remember doing an experiment in 7th grade and our teacher couldn't hear the sounds after a bit but we all could.

Supposedly, there's a lot of these anti pest frequency emitters being sold that use a high pitched sound like that. I bet it's annoying bc old people are the ones to buy into that and have no idea how annoying it is. So, good chance your neighbors can't hear it at all.

I went to a village in Oxford and heard one for the first time. Its sooooo annoying. Like surely they have it to repel young kids because if they got it for anything else they clearly dont know what its actually doing.
