What is the loud humming noise I hear coming from near the Petrie Railway or Amcor Paper mill?

It’s been humming really loudly in Macgregor for a week since Friday the 20/5/22

Hi Effiewx give it until September and you won't have anoise problem, we will all be out of work so no noise.
Hi Traceys82, More then likely it was the mill you heard, especially on those still quiet nights where the noise travels. The mill does have a social responsibility and is governed by local law, so if you were after specific information regarding their operation, I would contact them direct (via Amcors website). They conduct regular community engagement and advertise this frequently in the local papers. Also, I am not sure of the operating times of the demolition crew on the bridge, but perhaps there was something going in there too?
If the noise starts to bug you, I'd contact your local councelor, it's election season...they will more then likely jump on a community issue that will win them favour. If you do go down this path, let me know...I'd be curious to see what he outcome is.
Regards
I have been in contact with DERM since March this year as the noise IS coming from AMCOR (DERM issues their license to operate), DERM has done one lot of noise monitoring within this timeframe and unfortunately it was a day when AMCOR was not making the loud noise that it usually does, there have been no other monitoring of noise since then despite my calls letting DERM know its still happening. It's so frustrating that nothing is being done about this. I encourage you to contact DERM also, maybe there is more strength in numbers. The number is 13 QGOV.
