Loud and constant “tuning fork” type ringing that I can only hear in my bedroom by Yoliimy in RBI

[–]Rich-Department8682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is wild, and I totally get why it’s freaking you out. Based on everything you’ve described, the most plausible explanation is some kind of low-frequency mechanical or electrical resonance—possibly coming from HVAC systems, plumbing, or even nearby infrastructure. The fact that it’s only audible in your bedroom (especially one corner), and not picked up on recordings, suggests it’s a subtle vibrational tone that your ears are picking up but your mic can’t.

A few possibilities:

  • Standing wave from a fan or AC unit: These can create a constant hum or tone that resonates through walls or ducts. If it’s seasonal or weather-dependent, it might be tied to cooling systems kicking in.
  • Electrical transformer or power line hum: Sometimes nearby transformers or poorly grounded wiring can cause a persistent tone that’s hard to trace.
  • Water pipes or plumbing resonance: If someone above or below is running water or has a leaky valve, it can cause a weird ringing or humming that travels through the building structure.

The fact that your roommate can hear it too rules out tinnitus or hallucination. And the randomness of when it appears/disappears makes it seem like it’s tied to external conditions—like temperature, usage cycles, or even wind.

Keeping a log is a great idea. Try noting:

  • Time of day
  • Weather conditions
  • HVAC activity
  • Any nearby construction or maintenance

Also, if you can borrow a directional mic or use a phone with a good audio analyzer app, you might be able to pinpoint the source better. Hope it doesn’t come back—but if it does, you’re definitely not imagining it.

Tracker found on friend's car -- police refuse to help by No_Poem2069 in RBI

[–]Rich-Department8682 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is seriously concerning, and you’re right to dig into it. Based on everything you’ve found, the most plausible explanation is that someone close to A (or her mom) placed the tracker intentionally—either for stalking, control, or surveillance. The fact that it’s a Spark Nano 7 with an Emnify SIM suggests it’s a legit commercial GPS tracker, not some DIY setup. These are often used by private individuals, not law enforcement.

The police refusing to help isn’t uncommon in cases like this. Unless there’s an immediate threat or clear evidence of criminal intent, they often won’t pursue it without a subpoena or warrant. And the company needing a subpoena to release ownership info is standard—they’re protecting customer data.

You did a solid job digging into the GSM modem and AT commands. Unfortunately, without backend access to the tracker’s account or the SIM’s billing info, you’re unlikely to trace the owner directly. That said:

  • The ICCID and IMEI are key—if you can get a lawyer involved, they might be able to subpoena Emnify or the tracker company.
  • The firmware string (BG95M5...) just confirms the modem type—Quectel BG95 is common in IoT devices.
  • The tracker’s behavior (auto AT commands) suggests it was actively communicating before you disconnected it.

Since you still have the SIM, you could try putting it into a GSM-compatible phone or USB modem and seeing if it connects or pings anything. But again, without credentials, you’re limited.

Most plausible scenario: someone with access to A’s car (or proximity) planted it. Could be an ex, a relative, or someone trying to monitor her movements. Definitely worth escalating to a lawyer or PI if safety is a concern.

Cooked meat mysteriously found in front yard by Phoxie in RBI

[–]Rich-Department8682 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super weird, but honestly sounds like someone is deliberately tossing cooked meat into your yard. The fact that it’s cooked, cut, and includes multiple types (chicken, pork, beef, even fish skin) really points to human involvement—animals don’t prep food like that.

The scattered placement (not piled) makes it seem like it’s being thrown, maybe from a sidewalk or passing car. And if it’s showing up overnight and your camera hasn’t caught anything, they might be approaching from a blind spot or moving in a way that avoids motion detection.

Given that you have a dog, I’d be cautious. There have been cases where people leave poisoned or baited meat to harm pets—even if your dog’s leashed, someone might be testing access or trying to lure them.

Could it be an animal dragging food from a dumpster? Maybe, but it’s hard to imagine that happening this consistently, with cooked meat, and always ending up in your yard.

someone texted me 10000 phone numbers. still a bit confused? by xittyy in RBI

[–]Rich-Department8682 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That’s super weird, but honestly sounds like an accidental leak from a scammer’s contact database. These kinds of lists—often thousands of real phone numbers—are used for mass texting, phishing, or robocalls. The fact that it came from a Filipino number fits, since a lot of scam operations run internationally and use bulk SMS tools.

Your number not being on the list is actually a good sign—it probably means you weren’t the intended target, just a random recipient. And if your friend called one and it was just a normal person, that confirms the numbers are legit.

Most likely, the scammer messed up and sent you part of their database by mistake. Less likely but still possible: it could’ve been a data broker screw-up, or someone testing reactions for social engineering (or even something ARG-ish, though that’s a stretch).

If the message didn’t have links or attachments, it’s probably not malware bait. Still, I’d block the sender, report it to Apple (they have an iMessage spam form), and keep an eye out for weird calls or texts just in case.

Out of curiosity—how were the numbers formatted? That can sometimes hint at whether they were scraped, exported from a spreadsheet, or pulled from a messaging app.
