[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one, regardless of proximity, has the right to disturb another. Sorry y’all, but I’m with the OP here. I totally support the OP’s right to peace and quiet inside their own home. Neighbor needs to STFU.[/quote]

So is your view that kids can’t play outside, no one can do yard work or have other work done on their home because you might hear it from your house? People here constantly talk about how important it is to have density yet complain about the noise that comes with it. You can’t have it both ways. [/quote]

Density exacerbates the issue, but noise is not inherently a density problem. People are. They are not respectful of others. The neighbor is simply too loud on the phone and doesn’t recognize how his voice bounces. Parents allow their children to shriek at the top of their lungs. Pet owners don’t realize their dog barks incessantly when left alone. The list goes on and on. People just don’t realize and/or don’t care how their actions negatively impact others. [/quote]

Someone in an adjacent HOA to me tried to get something going on their FB group to ban non-electric leaf blowers (in the fall in a neighborhood with tons of trees) or at least allowed only during non-business hours (i.e., force everyone to do their yardwork in the early evening or weekends) when she was not working. She got shouted down pretty quickly. Neighborhoods with lots of houses close to each other have their pluses but if you want those you have to live with all the sounds that people make. If you can't deal, find yourself a place with a lot of land rather than trying to get the world to conform to your needs and your schedule.[/quote]
