  • @armbenjiglio They are just overpasses. They are all grooved in that pattern. Every single bridge deck in Florida is grooved in this pattern-->(II II III II II III) We drove from Miami to Tampa and all the bridge decks we went over made they same weird hum. They actully sound like they are making 2 hums at once.

  • @Astromchaser

    Where at in Florida are those bridges located?

  • @Astromchaser

    There are some bridges on I-270 in Illinois (near St. Louis) that do that, too. The grooves are spaced at different lengths, but still form a pattern that creates a weird rumbling or droning sound when you drive over them. You can hear the bridges from far away and it sounds like aliens making droning noises.

  • @SaturnEternity

    Those who research tire/pavement interaction noise refer to the sound as "whining". However, sometimes the grooves have unique patterns, creating more of a "rumble" or "wah wah wah" sound. This particular phenomenon is the result of poor randomization of the grooves.

  • @lexx41 You should hear the sound the tires makes on the bridge decks in Florida. The grooves on the overpasses in FL are unevenly spaced apart and the tires make a weird sound going over the grooves.

  • you know what would really be awsome, i think they should repair the skyview bridge and make indentations in the road so that when one drives over, it hums the erie canal song...

  • @cbeetow LOL.

  • The view from the Skyway is gorgeous on sunny days and terrifying on snowy days. But what a view! I sure hope the Skyway isn't torn down as some would like.

  • @lexx41 I wonder if there is an actual term for the screaming sound you get when driving over bridges such as the skyway.

  • ah yes the sound of ur tires on the concrete bridges lol! Gosh that so american to me lol and this is from a guy who is from Ontario where its asphalt everywhere, but i gotta tell you i love hearing that humming sound each time lol!
