An 87-year-old Cutchogue resident called Southold police July 23, complaining of a persistent, high-pitched buzzing noise inside his residence and asked a responding officer to have county police “check his residence for electronic devices,” according to police. He said he suspects “there is some criminality involved” and that he’s being evaluated to determine if the noise is part of a medical condition. He told the officer he has to turn off all power in the residence at night to help limit the sound. The officer could not hear the noise and advised the resident to rule out any other possibilities on its source and contact police again if no medical condition is discovered.
