I have no idea
As to whether this was a real thing or not.
But whatever caused this problem, at least it wasn't caused by those never to be damned enough vuvuzelas, or please God no, bagpipes. I used to live next door to a really nice couple. Who liked to play bagpipe music LOUD. On the other hand, maybe that was preferable to the awful noise that my son likes to listen to, also loud!
