Alas, this is no longer true. They are eviscerating the lighthouses
around here by removing their sound making capabilities. A few years ago
I could lie in bed and tell the weather by the beautiful sound of the
diaphone at the nearby lighthouse. Then they replaced the diaphone with
a horn. And now the horn is gone. Seems that the out of state trophy
home owners complain.
