    • i smoke in my tiny bedroom and pump in over 10,000 decibels of Dokken, for 12 hours a day. For some reason my dog want hang out in my room anymore. I wonder if it is the noise, smoke, or Dokken? I'm guessing Dokken.

    • Excessive Noise it not an obsession as you describe. It is a reality, a fact. It is a harmful energy and It is in your surrounds whenever you go. It is a wasted energy where many are contributing and supporting it. However many people became desensitized and passive to recognize it because they lack education on the subject. People that smoke cigarettes once thought that they had a right to do it. It took many lawful battles to show them that they do not.

    • Wow. I didn't know a Cessna 172 could break the sound barrier. Of even a 747 for that matter. By the way, the Concorde is gone in case you didn't know it.

    • You see, I have been warning people that this would happen. They fly so low and the noise sonic boom here on North Bay its is beyond limits. Only a disaster like this will calls the authorities for this problem. Just wait until one of these low flying Jumbo Jets crashes on North Beach killing hundreds of people. For short while the public will be awaken and petrified, they will call the authorities (FAA???); that have been ignoring the warnings, things will get better for short while and then the corruption will take place again. Go ahead and acting on sleeping and inactive mode folks. In addition let them do whatever they want with our airspace!
