Mystery NYC noise blasting across Hudson tormenting NJ residents

This isn’t your typical lullaby.

A relentless barrage of ear-piercing music has been disturbing the peace of a small New Jersey town for several weeks. Many locals suspect the noise is emanating from Manhattan, situated just a mile away.

Police in Edgewood believe that loud parties in New York City are blasting music so intensely that the sound is carrying across the Hudson River, invading the homes of sleeping residents. Despite numerous complaints, the exact source of the noise remains unidentified.

“It’s incredibly frustrating, especially when you have a child and you’re working,” expressed Ben, who resides half a mile from Edgewater’s shoreline and has been repeatedly jolted awake by these nocturnal festivities.

“It felt like it was coming from just a street over! I initially thought, ‘Someone must be playing music in the parking lot of the nearby apartment building.’ When the police informed me they had received 100 complaints and it might be coming from New York, I was genuinely shocked. It seemed like it was right outside my window.”

Residents first encountered the overpowering music on a Saturday night in October, with the sound reportedly starting around 11:30 p.m. and continuing until 5 a.m., as they told The Post.

The issue seemed to be a one-off — until it returned in February for four consecutive Saturday nights.

The noise raged on from 11:30 p.m. to 5 a.m., resulting in hundreds of complaints to Edgewater cops for “loud music coming from NYC,” the department said in a statement.

“It was so loud, it sounds like a concert outside. My husband even went outside because it was so loud but we couldn’t see anything,” said one neighbor, who declined to share her name.

“I’m exhausted. I’m pissed the next morning … I have two young kids, and I have a 6-month-old so I’m just exhausted.”

Edgewater cops told The Post that the NYPD tracked the noise down to Skinny’s Cantina on the Hudson in West Harlem, a Mexican nightclub directly across from the water from the New Jersey town.

The lounge, however, has been shut down since the New Year after it was sold to a new owner.

“There’s been zero activity there,” Joseph Licul, the prior owner of Skinny’s, told The Post.

The NYPD would also not confirm whether they had identified any other source of the noise despite claims by the Edgewater cops.

Exhausted Edgewater residents were relieved to enjoy a silent Saturday last week, but the breakdown in communication between the departments is leaving them with little hope that their peace will last.

“Every time I call [the NYPD], they’re like, ‘Okay, we’re going to go check it out,’ but they’re like they don’t sound too sure. It’s like the first time they’ve heard of this, right? They’re clueless,” one neighbor said.

“Between the Edgewater police and NYPD, no one’s doing anything about it.”
