THERE’S SOME VERY STRANGE THINGS IN THE UK……

Residents of a British city are being kept awake at night and amorous fish could be to blame.

The residents, in a part of Southampton in Hampshire, are having trouble sleeping because of a humming noise which starts at 10pm and drones on all night.

Now, scientists are studying whether the noise could be caused by fish having sex in an estuary nearby.

Midshipman male fish let out a distinctive drone to let females know they’re searching for a mate.

The noise can often go on for hours, as the males try to out-hum each other.

Scientists say the noise can be amplified by bouncing off buildings and ships.
