Traffic lights are intolerably loud
Reported via desktop in the General Fault category anonymously at 01:12, Sun 30 January 2022
Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS3276197.
The pedestrian crossing across Whiston Rd on the corner of Goldsmiths Row and Pritchard's Rd (in front of Debdale House) is far too loud and keeps my household up at night, and causes interruptions all day long as it is so loud. It is a constant irritant during both the day and at night and is loudly audible inside our property.
Other residents have also made me aware of this issue. This is a residential area and it is an annoyance for many and the loud sound is unnecessary - there are many more silent crossings in London can this please be adjusted to be a quieter crossing so as not to disrupt residents but remains accessible?
The constant loud sound is intolerable and damaging sleep and rest.
Please can this be addressed as soon as possible?

The temporary traffic signals installed for roadworks have been removed and permanent lights restored. Please advise if the volume is still too high. Many thanks
