I also hate it when the heating oil truck revs really high to pump oil into the neighbors house. Wakes me every time!

 

Jets! Jets! Did you ever hear those things flying overhead? I feel bad for people that live near airports. I live about 1 hour from an airport and I can still hear the jets when they're miles in the sky. Darn jets!

 

Trains! Trains! Now they are loud. My grandparents live next a railroad and the darn trains shake the house everytime they pass. Loud, so loud that you can't even talk when one passes.

 

train track is one house away from me [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
airport is on the other side of the track [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]


now, if you want to debate airports and noise, that is another thread. 99% of the airports in operation today were built in non-residential areas. The land surrounding it was cheap, so people bought it up, and started bitching about the noise. They knew the airport was there, they shouldn't have moved close to it.

When I moved into this rent house, I knew it was 100' from a RR track and 1/4 mile from the airport [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] I work there, short commute

It just seems like there are alot of loud annoying sounds out there. But it seems like people complain more about atv's. I think if there are going to be sound limits then make them across the board. Make everything (mowers, jake brakes, chain saws, harleys, etc.) so they are below a certain level. Everything or nothing! Noise levels are just one way to begin to make limitations on atv's. Another way is to get rid of 2 strokes. I understand that boat motors also have to be a 4 stroke. Why don't they get after the people that produce tractor trailers or dump trucks? They can produce trucks that are better for the environment. There are so many more things that need improving than atv's. I know alot of people like race car racing but if they really want to cut down on noise and air polution then make the cars so they get better than a few miles per gallon. How about decreasing the amount of laps so they aren't poluting for as many miles. Noise? Have you been to a car race? Some people will think:"hey leave car racing alone!". I say:"hey leave my atv sport alone". I don't buy into the idea of atv's not being a necessity. One persons necessity is anothers pleasure. People need atv's for hunting (food source), landscaping, farming, yard work, a local boat sales place uses one to move boats around, disabled people use atv's to get around, police use them all around the country, lifeguards use them, and the list could go on. As far as a chain saw or splitter goes, they are not a necessity for millions of people. I use heating oil. There is no reason they could not improve a chain saw so it doesn't make so much noise. I do understand that there are alot of annoying atv's but there are alot of annoying other things too. My point, don't pick and choose. Either limit everything or nothing.

 

Don't worry about it TB .. it was my mistake to use a general term "Teens". That's not correct because a lot of the a$$holes I see around are 20+. It just seems younger people in general these days (I'm not old myself at 33) don't seem to have any respect for anyone or anything.

Vandalism is at an all time high around here, booming stereos in cars, those dang rice rockets with the kazoos on em .. it just seems everyone is looking out for #1 and $crew the rest of the world. It's getting worse on an anual basis and I fear for the world that My children are inheriting.

I have to admit that I look at younger people with their hats on backwards and droopy drawers with more than a little skeptisism (spelling??), but I don't voice the opinion out loud. The few times I've actually spoken to such individuals they certainly seem nice enough .. just a perception I guess.

What bugs me more than anything else talked about in this forum, and it's a much more serious issue than loud pipes and booming stereos which do little more than disturb the peace, is smoking outside of public buildings such as malls, hospitals, offices .. kids and adults alike stand around right in front of the entrances puffing away forcing their nasty foul smoke on others entering and exiting the buildings ... I just think that's so extremely rude and in considerate. If you're outside anyway .. move away from the entrance !!

We all do things we shouldn't .. we just need to step back from time to time and ask "what am I really accomplishing here?" I ride on the roads pretty much whenever I got 4wheeling .. this is because I have to do that, or truck my quad off somewhere and dump it. It's much easier to put down the road. I'm not hurting anyone by doing so, though I am breaking laws. It's the idiots (again, not just young people) who blaze up the road in the dark with no lights on that worry me. Not even so much for the noise aspect, but it's just a matter of time before someone pulls out of their driveway and gets into a collision with the atv riders.

Cyotechaser .. I feel for you having such rude neighbors but remember .. two wrongs don't make a right. Sometimes though, you gotta take a stand and put an a$$hole in his/her place. You can only cooperate so much. What's fair is fair, if you neighbor wants you to cut your noise, then they should be prepared to cut theirs too.
