Heidi Lucas says she is not sure when she started hearing the sounds. At first she would notice it at night, then quickly disregard it. Last June, Lucas says the noise struck her as becoming more invasive. So she started keeping records of when it was audible. “It started to become persistent and consistent,” said Lucas, who lives in the 600 block of Park Road in the West Point Village, Her house is about three roads away from Merck & Co. Inc.’s West Point plant. On April 17, Lucas and her husband, Tim, appeared at the Upper Gwynedd Township Board of Commissioners workshop meeting to discuss the situation.
