  Roar
I live up in the western crux of the hills coming down from Mt. Greylock / Mt. Washington at the trailhead to the Cascades.

During the winter months, when the winds are blowing, there is tremendous and constant roar that seems to come off the top of the hills. It sounds a little like the frieght trains that rumble through a few times a day, but with no breaks in the fury.

Does this noise have anything to do with formation known as "The Bellows Pipe" that is directly south of the Cascades?

Does any other neighborhood in town get treated a similar phenomenon?

Curious.....
 
Comments:
Being that I live at the other end of Richview Ave. Ext, walk up hill then across Reservoir Rd. My home/ Yes the wind does howel like a banchee during a storm, no it has nothing to do with Bellows Pipe.
 
But yes that is the origin of the name "Bellows Pipe"

"My route lay up a long and spacious valley called the Bellows, because the winds rush up or down it with violence in storms"
