So I’m at my in-laws place and was reading a book on the couch.

Next thing I heard this weird noise, quite loud, coming from the ONT.

Apparently it’s been like that for a while, intermittent.

Any idea what it could be?

Video of the noise:

Might be a cooling fan inside - not sure if they have one?

 

Maybe it's an irate bee...

Get them to contact their RSP - may require a tech to visit and take a look at it (better safe than sorry).

 

There are no cooling fans in there so it won't be something like this.

If it still makes the noise with the power off maybe a whiff of fly spray is needed?

An ideal candidate for the "ZM Secret Sound" - no-one would ever guess that!!

Are there 1s and 0s all over the floor? If so, it's probably sprung a leak.
