Two brand-new high-rise apartment blocks in canton Basel Country are driving the neighbours mad.
When the wind blows from the south – they whistle.
It’s not a pleasant noise either – locals liken it to a train brake squeal.
Engineers have been working to fix the problem, by filling in holes and changing the design of the balconies.
But nothing’s working.
Some say the buildings should be demolished – but they are too expensive for that. Perhaps the solution would to be build a third tower to disrupt the air flow? That’s one suggestion.
