Brighton Marina Fog Horn

[Stoichkov]

It's been going like the CLAPPERS the last couple of evenings.

I don't know why but I love hearing it. I'm sure it was around in the early 80's and then didn't sound for years but has made a comeback within the past 6-7 years?

I bet the Marina residents go mental. Ah well....

Can hear it here in Lower Bev.

Can hear it here in Lower Bev.

I'm hearing it up in Woodingdean.

I wonder what's the furthest distance anyone's ever heard it from? Not wondering very hard you understand, just curious

The closing of many Lighthouses was in the news today. I wonder (again, not that hard) what the future is, if any, for foghorns?

I can hear it in Freshfield Road - and it's bloody annoying when I'm trying to go to sleep

All my facebook friends in scoombe are banging on about it...

 

[Gilliver's Travels]

Well, I can most certainly hear it! Not annoying, in fact it's vaguely soothing...
But slightly pointless really, to me speaking of long-gone times when seafarers didn't have such luxuries as radio, and satnav to locate their vessel down to the nearest metre.

Foghorns? In the 21st century? Who needs 'em?

EDIT: It's stopped now. Although it has kept our normally raucous seagulls strangely quiet all evening.

Can you here the fog horn thing

 

[del_boy]

I can't heat a f-ing thing! night!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Seven miles from the sea here (with the downs in between). We regularly hear the sound of foghorns. I think the foggy conditions help the noise to travel further.

[surrey jim]

Heard it yesterday evening (Higher Bevendean) had no idea what it was at the time though!

 

[Boys 9d]

Ah the sounds of my youth when I lived in the eastern part of Shoreham: the Fog Horn, Fog Signals on the Railway, Shunting in the Goods Yard and most noisy of all the Bucket Dredger working in the Western Arm of the Harbour.

 

[NickBHAFC18]

Never heard it

 

[The Large One]

We heard it at around 8pm last night.

It sounded almost mellow up near Fiveways.

I use to hear the Sovereign lighthouse one but never can anymore, I guess it doesn't do it nowadays
