Day to Day, July 2, 2007 · New York City is filled with culture, excitement... and noise. But now that a revised noise code is in effect, the jackhammers, cabs and dogs will all have to quiet down or face some stiff fines.

    • Not in my area! I can give you a brief schedule for you! In the morning around 5:30 is Muni with some drivers opening up that horrific beep signal many times at 11:30 PM. Then it is the Cab Drivers that transform the Streets in a Freeway pushing speeds of 45 mph going until 3:00 AM. By the time the Cab Drivers are going to sleep at 3:00 AM the Commercial Aircrafts start to arrive shaving the buildings and roaring on the hills until 5:30 AM when the Muni start again! It is a cycle of Madness! ...and I am not counting with all the other guys like the motorcycles and cars with modified mufflers. They are all on tape. I have a box of film to air! Since they all keep doing the same thing every day and every week it is just easy to go to the streets and catch them anytime I want.

    • Stopnoise, this is your story! I know that we have city and county ordinces that after 10:00pm there is to be noise reduction. So in my neighborhood, it does become quieter, with rare exceptions.

    • Some friends from NoiseOff.ORG comment about it last Year. He is from New York and used to blast the windows of cars with alarm buzzing and was taken to Court because of that. Have you watch it?
