It seems to happen twice a day, right at meal times, and they always seem to be headed North to Highway 42. I've about decided they're just making a BBQ run to Artman's.

On the other hand, I've noticed that the older I get, the more the noise of people having fun without me bothers me, which is odd, since my hearing's getting so bad I have to blast the TV a full volume just to make out what they're saying half the time. So maybe it's just me.

But the great thing about living long enough to see the 21st century, is that now there's a place you can always go to complain about stuff like that -- the interwebs!

The leadership of the state of Florida and the leadership of The Villages is lacking. When the bottom line defines the law of the land we are in trouble.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned incessant barking as noise pollution. I love dogs and all pets, but owners who let their dogs bark are extremely irresponsible in my book. Where I am right now, I can't go in my yard without the neighbour's dog barking at me like he wants to kill me. The poor dog obviously has emotional issues as he paces and barks non stop, even when there's no one around. I hear him even with the windows closed and the TV on. I personally would muzzle him when outside, or try other devices to train it to not be a nuisance, but some people simply don't give a s..t about other people's quality of life.

Do you notice how loud and obnoxious trucks, cars, motorcycles are on the TV streets?

Some days I can't carry on a conversions with friends while my windows rattle from the exhaust noise. :mad:

Those are modified/broken exhaust systems on those vehicles and should be against the law.

Most retirement community's are 55 yrs.+, wouldn't you think at that age, they would have it out of their system?

We have air pollution, water pollution, and now noise pollution.

Your Thoughts Please

I've also noticed the increase in noise. Some people are modifying their cart exhaust to make them louder "mas macho".

Expect more of this in the future.

Yes, some people do this to motorcycles too. Invariable they are people who have low self-esteem and the noise is a desperate cry for attention.

I couldn't afford a loud car when I was younger, but now that I can I want to make up for lost time. Which car do you recommend that would be the loudest?
