This actually works! You must stand exactly in the center spot. If you're only inches off, the squeak is inaudible.
[John, 08/27/2015]Stand in the middle of Pickering Square in downtown Bangor and clap your hands. Something about the acoustics causes an echo that sounds like a squeak. Start in the very center and slowly walk outward and hear the squeak fade away. Note: This only works when there is no snow covering the square.
