Mysterious Sounds

CSTI acoustics has experience with “mysterious sounds” heard at residences. These are sounds that are only faintly audible with a source that is difficult or impossible to identify. We have spoken to other consultants about these types of sounds and written a paper on the subject. Here is a link to our latest version of the paper: Mysterious Sounds.
