LAMPPOST

When there's a strong wind, lampposts often make an obvious twanging noise. It's quite loud, too. At least, you can hear it from the other side of the road. It sounds a lot like an interior cable hitting the hollow tube of the post, and it is always the same, repetitive note at regular intervals. If lampposts stopped producing this noise, I would miss it.
