Noise Pollution is No Joke.....Give Me a Break.....

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Referral Group Incorporated

Noise pollution is no joke....please give me a break. Living with neighbors is what most of us deal with: no problem, except those pesky and perplexing folks who seem to live to annoy. This would include those who mow their lawns at all times of the day or night, ignore holidays and decide to cut trees down, use snow blowers at night and early mornings and my personal favorite: those with backpack blowers who are obsessed with using them often and proudly.

If you live in the country and can't see, or more importantly, hear your neighbors then do as you will. However, if you live in a neighborhood, or near me remember that alienating a person isn't something to take lightly or do without consequences. People will put up with almost anything for awhile but there does come a point when annoying becomes more than we can or should take. Be considerate of others, and think about how you would feel if I let my dogs bark in my yard all day long. Pay back is a bummer. I love my classical music loud but I play it inside, but if you blast your rock tunes on your deck all day, expect retribution from me at night.

Do you litter? Then don't pollute the air with noise either.

Hi Mona. It is a matter of consideration and people who don't have any.....they are just beyond my ability to deal with. Country sounds great. Enjoy the day.

I agree Sheila. There's a DQ restaurant just over our side fence and about 1/8 of a mile away. Sometimes idiots with their gazillion dollar sound system in their car will sit over there for 30-40 minutes at a time regaling every one in a mile radius with their prowess in turning the volume up. The damn things rattle our windows with their bass woofers.

Hi Sheila, there are people that are just oblivious to their impact on others-in every facet of life-noise pollution is no different.  It is so awful to have to live with a constant racket-particularly when you have chosen not to live over the midtown tunnel!

Sheila, I have a neighbor who puts their inside dog outside at midnight on cold nights and the dog barks for hours. It is maddening.

I feel your pain on this one.  I remember life in a condo.  Surround sound was new.  I felt like there was an earthquake in my unit whenever the neighbors below me cranked up a movie.

before 7 a.m. and after dark just freaking be quiet, country or not.  I live on an acre, but we're still considerate of our neighbors for things like our chainsaw and log splitter and do it during normal business hours on our days off.  As for the way too loud stereos ... just turn that crap down.  I won't force them to listen to my choice of music and I don't want to listen to theirs.  I completely agree with you with only a few exceptions for emergency situations... if a storm blows a tree onto your house I'll happily come over to my neighbors and hold the flashlight for them to cut it off even in the middle of the night and get a tarp up there. But beyond emergencies... be respectful.

I am one of those crazy people who works at all hours of the night but I don't blast my music or vacuum or use blowers. I often have to resort to ear plugs.

You tell em Sheila.  I haven't lived in a shall we say city for awhile.  I know it is just a matter of time before (because of age and medical conditions) sadly I'll need to move back.

You wrote this so well and covered it all.  We listen to classical more than rock, too....it's not nearly as noisy (usually).

The chainsaws and snowblowers before 7 am on Sunday irritate me to no end, too.
