Overnight Foghorn Noise
Anyone else kept awake in the wee hours by the foghorn down in Bay Ridge area? It was sounding roughly every 20 seconds for what felt like over an hour. And it wasn’t even especially foggy out (I could still see bridge/SI from my window). Any guesses?

I heard that all night from 18th av and 72 st…a lot louder then normal…I was thinking it was a ship pulling into the harbor.
I grew up 1/2 mile from a ferry terminal so i’m used to it. But I’ve never heard as much overnight activity as I heard last night which led me to believe that maybe something was happening on the harbor, especially since it was relatively clear out. yes it got me out of bed to close all the windows and find earplugs..
I heard the foghorns this morning too, they were extremely loud. Got me up an hour early (6am), had enough time to make ham and eggs for breakfast.
It’s part of living near the harbor. I loved the sound when I lived in Park Slope. It’s one of the few things I missed after moving to the other side of the terminal moraine (aka the other side of the park)although I still do hear fog horns here in PLG once or twice a year, when atmospheric conditions are right.
I don’t know but all of Bay Ridge FB friends posted the same thing – lots of fog horns. Personally I love the sound. Its so soothing.
