Architect 1: man the building squeaks
Architect 2: its not a bug its a feature

For anyone curious: The reason it's designed to move is because the building cannot be rigid. If the supports are rigid, they can snap when pushed. So they're designed to have some bend; which let's them handle more force

[coolunusual]

It's less about the sounds being creepy, it's more about the constant fear that the whole fucking building is moving and you never know when something goes wrong

I would definitely purchase a parachute if I lived that high up.

In Japan, highrise buildings have "engineered discs and cushions" in the foundations so they can tolerate massive earthquakes and typhoons.
Definitely no creepy noise from the buildings.

Engineers 1: damn the building squeaks??”😮
Engineer 2: “well…… we will just tell ‘em it’s supposed too

New fear unlocked : living in high rise buildings

[v_-]

That is why i like living in a house, safe on the ground.

[knighthavok]

That ain't no winter storm, that's what i call a small drizzle.

[madeyoulook]

That’s the noise of nails, screws, and bolts loosening up to me lol

In Scandinavia (and perhaps elsewhere) we say "as long as it creaks, it holds".

I once worked in a high rise built in the 70's in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. They had flower pots hanging from the ceiling. During a storm, the flower pots would be swinging as if someone had hit them. Going to the bathroom, the water in the toilet bowl would be swishing around...

I'd already be scared to live that high up, but with those noises too?? That's terrifying!😳

[suiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

Imagine hearing these sounds while sleeping thinking that some broke in 😂

[anneonnamouse]

I could never live high up because I'm afraid of heights but this is a new fear unlocked. Thanks!

[johnnyletsgo]

Ain't no way I'm ever living in one of these buildings I would be in constant fear💀 also I'm poor as hell

[MikeLaRock]

This made me feel better about my apartment on the ground. Im sure I'm paying 1/4 of what you are too

[dellow]

“Why did you move out the city?”
“It’s the squeaks”

[moonchild.]

No worries, the building won't collapse. Skyscrapers are generally equipped with a TMD (tuned mass damper): it's a mass that oscillates in the same resonance frequency of the building to minimize violent motion
