Can anyone else hear what sounds like jackhammers down towards Spring Garden? WTF are they jackhammering at 11pm?

The only thing I can think of--if you're near the Eakins Oval--is that the sound was somehow carrying/echoing up from the 76/676 interchange, where there was some major road work going on last night. When I passed by about 9:30pm I did see a jackhammer or two, though they weren't on at the time.

Other than that... I have no idea!

I'm not sure about this specific case, but PGWs emergency crews jackhammer through the night (3AM, beneath my window in one instance). I think the operating theory is that jackhammers are somewhat quieter than explosions.

I heard some noise around that time at 15th and Green, but (no joke) I thought it was the upstair's neighbours bed knocking around

Take turns jackhammering the sale holes at least 2x a week on our block. Of the last 20 times I can recall the distribution was:

10pm - 2am: 14
7am - 9am: 6

Letter grade for quality of re-fill with asphalt:

A:0
B:0
C:0
D:1 (kid was on fire, theme song from "Color of Money" playing as he shoveled)
F: 19 (sunken in about 3 minutes after they left)

Never, ever during hours when no one is on the street.

...better than jackhammering RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR WINDOW between 5 and 7am!

It could have been from 76/676. I just was hoping for some instant gratification from this site to tell me what it was!

Still not as annoying as the leafblowers on Saturday morning. It's a STREET, could you SWEEP IT?? Thanks.
