People from as far afield as Rossington and Wheatley have reported hearing the mystery noise over the last few nights – with everything from train brakes to mating foxes being suggested as a possible cause.

Reporting the noise on Facebook, one resident said: “Anyone know what that high pitched squeal is? It's been going on for ages.”

Another added: “Been going on for a while now, few days ago I first heard it” while another posted: “It’s been for days now, I was wondering the same.”

Another poster wrote: “It’s been doing my head in,” while another added: “Might be foxes mating ... the female fox screeches.”
