A city councillor has confirmed that the humming noise coming from NextStar Battery Plant has been 'dealt with'.
Ward 7 councillor, Angelo Marignani said he was getting complaints from Forest Glade residents about a 'tonal hum'.
An investigation revealed the noise was coming from an air purification system.
The plant installed insulating blankets around the exhaust vents, dampening the sound.
In April, the plant discussed the sound, turning off the air purification system to temporarily stop the sound. At that point, they discussed the blankets, awaiting a report from consultants before moving forward.
