SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) — The recent windy weather in Bay Area has led to the discovery of a new phenomenon where the fog and wind blast into the bay at San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, a loud humming noise that can be heard for miles around.
Recently-installed wind slats along the bridge’s bike path are being attributed as the cause of the noise, much like what happens with musical instruments when air is forced into a small space.

“Engineers designed new sides for the sidewalk to help with wind resistance but didn’t take into account the EXTREME sound it creates when wind passes through it. The bridge sings crazy songs now it’s so trippy. It hurts the ears and unbearable it’s that loud.” pic.twitter.com/GWdVia1GNS— Mark Krueger (@markkrueg) June 6, 2020
People crossing the span are now serenaded with an eerie, harmonic vibration that resonates miles away.
Sorry this is happening. The Golden Gate Bridge Sargent reports the low humming noise is related to high winds blowing through the newly installed railing slats along the bike path on the bridge. ^JB

In San Francisco, the city's iconic Golden Gate Bridge did something it's never done before.
It started singing.
Engineers say it's because of wind passing through newly installed railings.
Witnesses describe it as angelic and peaceful.

The Golden Gate Bridge District on Saturday said it was known that the retrofit project to install the wind slats along bridge would cause a humming noise during high wind events.
“We knew going into the handrail replacement that the Bridge would sing during exceptionally high winds from the west, as we saw yesterday,” said a statement from the district. “We are pleased to see the new railing is allowing wind to flow more smoothly across the Bridge.”
The district said the project was designed to make the bridge more aerodynamic under such conditions and was necessary to ensure the safety and structural integrity of the bridge.
As part of the retrofit, we have been replacing handrail on the west sidewalk with new railing that has thin vertical slats designed to allow more air to flow through them (video). We knew going into the handrail replacement that the Bridge would sing during exceptionally high winds from the west, as we saw yesterday. We are pleased to see the new railing is allowing wind to flow more smoothly across the Bridge.
