For some San Francisco residents, driving over the Golden Gate Bridge is music to their ears.
On Friday, many people reported hearing “eerie” sounds coming from the iconic suspension bridge and shared videos of the humming noise on social media.
“The Golden Gate Bridge now makes music. You can hear this whistle all over the city,” wrote one Twitter user.

The “music” is a result of new high-tech slats that were recently installed. The sound is produced as the wind makes its way through them.
"Sorry this is happening," tweeted
the City and County of San Francisco. "The Golden Gate Bridge Sargent reports the low humming noise is related to high winds blowing through the newly installed railing slats along the bike path on the bridge."
