It has become the stuff of legend.

And the famous Beetham Tower ‘whistle’ returned this afternoon as gale-force winds battered the region.

In videos from residents and by-standers, including one filmed from inside the tower, you can clearly hear the monotone sound bellowing out across the city’s skyline.

In 2012, architect Ian Simpson, who lives in an apartment at the top of the tower, publicly apologised.

On several occasions, engineers have scaled the 47-floor tower on Deansgate, which cost £150 million to build, to try and carry out repairs and modifications to reduce the din generated by its glass blade.

The high-pitched humming sound has irritated many living and working in the city centre. Today was no exception. Here's how Twitter responded:

Fortunately, Mancs were around to calm him down

But there was no shutting him up...

What we do know is, you definitely can't avoid it if you live near the centre of Manchester
