[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 158513, member: 1632"] Slight diversion here. I am amazed/dumbfounded/gob smacked (pick one) when I learn of people who purchase or build houses near airports, race tracks, shooting ranges (again pick one) then complain about the noise. But not just complain but go on to lobby authorities to restrict hours of operation, change flight paths, or shut it down all together. Comparing the dB values in the article to those currently in use here for new vehicles it would appear as if they are trying to bring the noise level down to highway levels in an urban environment. But then again a bus makes anywhere from 80 - 95dB, a lawn mower is 70 - 90dB, and aircraft taking off can be up to 140dB. Which brings me to if you don't like noise don't buy or build next to loud things. Yes it might be sparsely populated, pastoral in appearance, and cheap to purchase a really big lot. There is a reason for that, it's LOUD. My final thought is this. Build airports, racetracks, and shooting ranges next to each other and only allow the surrounding land to be developed into cemeteries. Now if those neighbors complain, well I guess there really is an issue. Steven [/QUOTE]
