hertford east noise

Please can someone enlighten me on what the irritating "be ba be ba" noise is. Is it something to do with the ralilway ? I have heard it on and off over the last few days (just heard it again !)

This might be something to do with the unit that coats the track with a wax substance to help the wheels grip due to leaves on the line. The Unit goes goes up and down the line in the evenings...it sounds different from a normal train.
