lemmyreaderNo-so-silent Spring
I really hope noise pollution in general becomes a bigger topic of conversations. Yes, I hate gas leaf blowers and they ruin so many spring and fall days. But what about my annoying neighbor who insists on revving his Corvette at 5:30am? I hear that damn car for a good five minutes as they are driving away from the neighborhood.
whotookkarlMost suburbs have noise ordinances for max decibels, if you can record it a few times and include the db at the time.
I wish there was I could do that. But what am I supposed to do? Stand on the corner of a street with my phone out and a DB meter in hand?
There are apps to let your phone do both or more reasonable would be to set up a security camera to record your backyard or something innocuous, use it to file a report and if nothing happens from the police report take it to the city council to show they aren’t enforcing city ordinances. I’ve seen a few people take noise complaints to council to get it enforced.
