Golden Gate Bridge’s eerie hum could be silenced by 2022

The unbearable' noise echoing in the city since June can be fixed by aluminum clips containing a rubber sleeve costing $450,000

The eerie hum of the Golden Gate Bridge, which has elicited comparisons to chanting monks" and a wheezing kazoo", may soon be muffled.

Local officials have offered a fix to the unbearable" noise that's been echoing in San Francisco neighborhoods - much to the irritation of some residents - on particularly gusty days since last year. The Golden Gate bridge, highway and transportation district has proposed an estimated $450,000 project to install aluminum clips that will help reduce the sound created when wind hits the slats in the bridge's hand railing.
