A very upset and very determined resident of Manhattan Avenue in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, has been hearing a steady beeping noise every 30 seconds, for 24 hours, every day for a month straight. He or she has begun to ask the neighbors for help in eliminating the persistent noise.

There happens to be a set just outside of Ott Restaurant that is making a noise that fits the description.
