This was quite the sensationalist piece. Maybe something is going on, but maybe the explanation is more boring. Since everyone is taking wild guesses, allow me to partake:

The building is Apple's HR center. The people there mostly write reports on health insurance utilization.

The noise is office remodeling. They do it at night because people are working during the day.

I have it on good authority that there are several capacitors in the building. They're mostly used to filter the output of switching power supplies. Why right now, there are probably hundreds of capacitors inside your house!

Give me a break.



And a "repair garage"!? What could that possibly be used for besides a secret new Apple car?
