High winds? I see this occasionally here in areas that have a 25+ average wind speed and the homes are on a septic or cesspool waste system. I think the idea is to prevent the p-traps from gurgling from back pressure.

Was there a window located close to vent that they were getting odors, this would eliminate the occasional smells.

Is there a brand name on it?

I've never seen any type of cover over a sewer stack.
