Law suits which are claiming personal injury are beginning to be waged against the manufacturers of the sound equipment causing all this noise. I foresee class action lawsuits appearing for personal injury, as the injury is subjective. If you are working on a project which takes extreme concentration , and your concentration is broken because of this noise, are you not being injured to some degree? What I see happening is that the personal injury attorney’s are going to sue these manufacturers of high decibel music equipment on behalf of a great number of complainants, and some will get rich. Would you take the case?

“The amendment has all sorts of daytime exemptions built in: public/private school events, construction (of course), lawn mowers, church bells, political gatherings (protected under the First Amendment), special events that have been granted permits, etc.”

Lawn mowers and construction can be one of the more annoying ‘disturbances’. We love
to complain about trains as well, there is no sleepin through those though. You
have to figure they schedule those for the early AM just to piss us off!

Gee Doug, every time one of you little-willie bikers fly by me un-muffled I get all scared and sometimes jerk out of my lane from the fright. Maybe you ought to consider not causing such a commotion. It’s dangerous you know.

Your motorcycle is only loud from behind, you are wasting our ear drums with you loud pipes. No one can hear you coming if they are in front of you. As a motorcyclist I know all to well that to live, one must drive defensively. Please don’t try and justify your phallic replacement mufflers with the self-defense argument.

So, does that mean that Green Earth is violating the night time noise ordinance when they empty the dumpsters in Commercial Ct. at 3:30 am? This happens every Tuesday (sometimes on the Friday pick-up) and involves ALL of the dumpsters in the townhouses. Not only do they empty the dumpsters, but they bang them in order to get all of the trash out, which also echos off of the buildings. There is absolutely NO WAY to sleep through this. A call to the company last summer stopped it for a while, but they went back to the 3:30 schedule gradually.

Winston,
Is my motorcycle on the loud side because as the rider I enjoy a drowning noise in my own head? No. However it is loud because 98% of moterests do not pay attention to what is going on around them!

Exactly right, Mark. We moved downtown for a lot of reasons, one minor one being optimism about the ‘Burg’s downtown revival. But after one summer here, we’ve decided to move somewhere else. The normal ambient noise isn’t that bad–it’s the intentional loud noises that are intolerable; motorcycles and cars with glass packs senselessly revving their engines, loud motorcycles, and sub-woofers being the worst offenders. I’ve tried being nice to these people, and I’ve tried being not-so-nice, but day in and day out in the spring and summer, our windows will be rattled by subwoofers, and our peace will be interrupted by some ******* sprinting noisily around in a laughable–but very loud–little car. It’s the stupidity of this noise that’s most irritating–there’s not a good reason in the world for it, it’s all specifically intended to annoy.

I’m calling the police the next time my neighbor mows his lawn.

It is also not my fault if someone’s house is poorly constructed and they can hear outside noises more easily.

Has this ordinance been amended?
