An Edinburgh local has told of enduring months of sleepless nights from a football stadium announcement booming out from loud speakers at random times.
Sonya Mathews says neighbours have been left frustrated as an evacuation alarm has been blaring out without throughout the day and night at Hibs' Easter Road stadium for four months.
Others have taken to social media to report the alarm going off for hours at a time from as early as 3am.
Hibs has confirmed the club is aware of the problem which has been fixed and apologised to neighbours.

Sonya, who lives right outside the stadium, has spoken of the impact of being woken during the early hours and being prevented from home working during the day.
She said: "I don't get much sleep when it happens and if interrupts working from home completely. This morning it went off for five hours. It's the same alarm on repeat all of the time.
"Sometimes there will be a pause, in the last hour if has only gone off a few times. I keep asking them to fix it as it's like a huge alarm bot constantly going off."
When the alarm first became a persistent problem in August, Sonya says she attempted to contact the police and multiple numbers associated with the club, but still hasn't managed to get through to anyone.
She added: "I have met people on the street and made acquaintances due to our shared trauma because I pass people constantly walking the dog and it's just going off and we have to live with it.
"I've gone over there and nobody has been in and I've repeatedly called the police. They told me that there's nothing they can do apart from also trying to call and come with a key but nothing immediate. Nobody is there early in the morning so calling doesn't do anything. I just don't know how this has slipped by."
Sonya went on to say that she has resorted to tweeting anyone associated with the club and the news to try and make through a breakthrough.
A spokesperson for Hibs said: "We are aware that alarms have gone off at Easter Road over the past few months. Due to the increased frequency of this, the club has been in consultation with its fire alarm contractor and modifications have been made to limit this.
"The audible evacuation alarms, during the day this week, have been a result of necessary testing to prove the configuration of the matchday and non-matchday modes that the systems operate in. We apologise for any inconvenience caused."
