Ah! Was it road heating to stop ice formation?


Yes indeedy powered by two generators one either side of the road.


Ah! So it wasn't the device itself (the road heating) that was noisy. It was
merely the means of powering it. I was going to suggest something along
these lines but I thought "that's not noisy". If they'd powered it from the
National Grid then it would have been silent.
