Golden Gate or Golden Gate Bridge is a 2,737-meter-long suspension bridge in San Francisco, California, USA. This is a very popular tourist attraction and often appears in Hollywood movies. However, recently, there have been many reports that this bridge is emitting strange sounds.
Some say the sounds come from the bridge as if someone is playing some kind of instrument, and they are even loud enough that you can hear them clearly while driving across the bridge. This is a video recorded on 5/6.

A day later, on June 6, strange sounds coming from the Golden Gate Bridge began to be heard in a wide area around. Alberto Martinez, who lives in San Francisco, said he heard the sound for about an hour. Mark Kruger, who visited the Golden Gate Bridge that day, even said: “My ears hurt and the sound was so loud it was unbearable” .
Some other reports show that the sound of the bridge can be heard even from a distance, up to about 5 km.

The engineers responsible for maintaining the bridge immediately began to find out. And the end result turned out to be surprising.
The strange sound coming from the Golden Gate Bridge is due to the recently renovated pavement railing of this bridge. Due to the reclamation of the railing, strong winds blowing from the west to the east of the one mile wide (about 1.6 km) strait connecting the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean caused the sounds mentioned above.

“The Golden Gate Bridge has begun to sing. The new musical tunes emanating from the bridge are a known and inevitable phenomenon, stemming from a renovation project to combat strong winds on the bridge.” Paolo Koslich Schwarz, spokesman for Golden Gate Bridge said. “The renovation project aims to make the bridge less susceptible to high winds and it is necessary to ensure the safety of the bridge in the future.”
As such, this is part of the design process and people living around the bridge will have to accept it in the future.
