i found a couple more video examples of accidental acoustic wind effects in architecture -- but it looks like these aren't as ever-present and loud as the Golden Gate Bridge is right now.

in the Beetham Tower case, apparently the architect lives in the tower's penthouse. i bet they're frustrated that none of the fixes have completely remedied the problem.

- noir_lord 6y agoWas in Manchester to see Metallica last year, Beetham Tower is spectacularly ugly in person though I suspect it'll be around long enough it'll become a much loved icon.
