What is this machine?

[Nicke111]

Construction workers are replacing doors in my housing row and I'm curious about this phenomenon: It sounds like they start a vacuum cleaner and after about 10 seconds, three hammer-like sounds are heard in succession. Does anyone know what kind of machine this is?

 

[Denniis]

No possibility to just ask the carpenters?

I have no idea what kind of machine it is, but I own a battery-powered nail gun (Dewalt) that starts making a noise when you press it against the wood. I think that this is the sound you think sounds like a vacuum cleaner.

Why not ask the construction workers? ‍ today's data society is a bit funny

Now they've taken the weekend off, and I wanted to satisfy my curiosity before then.

Aha! But what about the three striking sounds?

 

[Henrik.woll]

I would guess a gas-powered nail gun

Vacuum cleaner

Aha! But what about the three banging noises?

The vacuum cleaner doing a filter cleaning, I guess.

Yes, that was not a bad thought

Yes, it sounds more like a vacuum cleaner on speed because the sound reaches up to my floor. The hammering is more like sledgehammer strength and is always three in a row without exception. The fact that they chose to have their temporary workshop specifically in my building is fun when I spend my days on music recording.

 

[Markus P]

Sounds like a pneumatic nail gun.

 

[Stolsben]

It is a vacuum cleaner that cleans the filter.

 

[Huzzbutt]

Exactly, a vacuum cleaner with automatic filter cleaning. Really impressive.

 

[Nicke111]

Exactly, a vacuum cleaner with automatic filter cleaning. Makes a real bang.

Crazy to manufacture a vacuum cleaner that sounds like a sledgehammer...
