We have friends who live in Fenney. It's a great place and probably one of the last villages built before the developer decided to pile in as many homes as possible in a Village.

So, one day we were at our friends home and heard the blast from the Quarry. All I can say it's quick but it sounds like someone set off a bomb in front of your home. You home may rattle a bit but if you expect to get rocked once a month or so then you will be OK. Just know when they blast, it's really loud, yes we were in the house with everything closed when it happened. I would say it's on-par with a sonic boom if a jet would fly right over your home.

It may be OK for you but you just know it's going to happen and it's a very significant blast noise.
