Mystery of the Night

I was snoozing along around 5 am. I had a fan going and a rain sound video playing on youtube. I suddenly realized that there was a loud humming noise coming from my office space. I got up and ran down there. Half asleep, I could not figure out what was happening. The noise came from a shop vac that I was using that day. There is no one else in my house. I was sleeping. How did that thing turn on? We have neighbors feet away. I am sure they will launch complaints. I hope they still let me live here. I don't know how long it was on or how it turned on in the first place. I shut the electric off to that plug so it won't happen again. It makes a horrible noise. What do you think happened here? It is the mystery of the night to me.

I just don't know but I thought about it. What purpose would that serve? I will have to be sure everything is unplugged. What if they still make noise?

if things happened not naturally then i don't think they have any problem. here at my place if you make any noise at any time no punishment and no one can object on it unless it daily or doing for disturbing others.

I try to be as quiet as I can most of the time. I am sensitive to the fact that neighbors are very close and I try not to bother them.

@akalinus that is good that you not want to disturb them but something not under our control and they have problem if they are good neighbour.

@birjudanak Once, they rapped on the outside wall when I played youtube too loud. It really is not fun living so close together. But they fight and the cops come. I heard a gunshot once. I think there should be a lot more space between units.

@Mavic123456 Absolutely sure. I had to get up and come down here. It was a horrible racket in the middle of the night. I am so upset and now worried about what else could happen. A lot of things seem to be coming against me lately.

That's really strange. Can you apologise to your neighbours before they get upset about it?

I have not heard from them. I am trying to be super quiet from now on.

I have never had it start without pushing a button. This really disturbs me.

I don't see how they didn't. No one came over or said anything so far. If they do, I will tell them I am sorry and don't understand how it happened. That is the truth.

@Shivram59 I heard it for sure, very loud. I had to go downstairs and turn it off. Then I turned the electric off on the power strip so it could not restart.

@akalinus I think,they did not hear any such sounds simply because there was no sound.It might be a fear in your mind that .made you feel you heard a humming sound.

i hope the neighbors didn't hear it, or if they did, don't complain about it.

Do you have any pets that could have turned it on?

No pets here. I had a problem with possums but there is nothing to attract them here and I have not seen them in a long time.
