Please help us with finding a source of a heavy drilling sounds at night

Recently many of our residents started hearing occasional and very loud “drilling” sounds in our building. The noises were first noticed about 4-5 weeks ago. They usually do not last longer than 30-60 seconds and happen in the middle of the night but not every night.

I spoke with residents of several units and they described them as “rattling”, “hammer drill”, “banging metal on metal”, “broken fan” and “construction work”. Everybody noticed that it was accompanied with a heavy vibration that could be sensed in the walls and floors.

The sound resonated across the whole structure and I confirmed this information with residents of seven units in different parts of the building and on all floors. The noises were so loud that many people were awoken by it.

On several occasions I heard the noises myself and even tried to find the source by running around the building but the noises were stopping before I could get closer.
I even checked our security cameras to see if I could see any activity in the building that might help with identifying the source but there was nothing recorded at the time of the noises.  
I think that noises were coming from one of the units.

If you heard the noises or know anything about their nature, please let Alex know.

Thank you
