Problem is, the bridge was never designed for those sails, and the result is going to be disasterous.

Bay Area residents were serenaded by the Golden Gate Bridge as wind gusts passed through the region Friday — a new phenomenon that has a relatively simple explanation.
A number of individuals shared videos of the eerie humming sound coming from the bridge, with many reporting they could hear the noise from miles away. After enough people inquired about the noise, the Golden Gate Bridge Sargent reported the sound is caused by wind hitting new sidewalk railing slats.
The Golden Gate Bridge now makes music. You can hear this whistle all over the city pic.twitter.com/W1V9Dw4sXb — Raemond (@RaemondBW) June 6, 2020
THANK YOU!!!! Here’s the sound from Land’s End pic.twitter.com/JjEWy6zrlX — chilibrianno (@chilibrianno) June 6, 2020
Can someone explain me why is this eerie sound has been going on for an hour in #SanFrancisco #presidio #sound #eerie #whatisthis #2020SoFar #2020BingoCard pic.twitter.com/gS4ui2WSxh — Alberto Martinez A (@betogilardino) June 5, 2020
The recently-installed slats were originally intended to help with wind resistance, but engineers evidently did not take into account that when wind passes through the open gaps between the slats, it can create a very loud humming noise akin to a musical instrument, as KQED pointed out. Officials said there are no planned fixes for the issue.

What a piece of garbage web site. Was this designed by the gooberminy?

That’s pretty bizarre. Thanks for posting this.
Narrows Bridge?
Its resonant frequency was its downfall.

There’s an article on there about Virginia Rappe and Fatty Arbuckle making out like Arbuckle was guilty. His career and life was ruined and it was shown that a reporter had made up stuff to sell papers.
The Golden Gate Bridge has been in use for 83 years and has survived earthquakes most bridges in the rest of the US would have collapsed. Not sure why they’re tempting fate with this feature addition to thwart suicides.
Rag newspaper quickly tries to frame as a plus. No plus.
Noise is vibration, or at least a sign of it. Can’t be a great thing long term.
The humming caused by the new slats is so loud that it can be heard in Berkeley.
No, San Francisco, THIS IS NOT A FEATURE. THIS IS A BUG.
That is EXACTLY what hit me when I read about slats and wind abatement. This additional lateral resistance not factored into the original engineering.

Sort of like blowing on a giant comb covered in waxed paper.
How many millions will it take to correct the problem?
This story is totally fabricated and is a coverup for what is really happening.
What you are hearing are celestial trumpets marking the end times and judgment. Judgment day is getting closer and closer. We are being warned the time is coming.

Jesus answered: “Watch out that no one deceives you.
For many will come in my name, claiming, `I am the Christ, ‘ and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains. “Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me.
At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.”
Matthew 24
There is a suspension bridge at Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina which does the same thing during high winds.
