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

blasting the tv , it doesn’t have to be that way , you can use close captioning it takes only a short time to get used to it and you are doing people in your household and neighbors a favor , I would not be able to watch tv without it

The quiet was a draw for us, too. So far, haven't seen the quiet. Most contractors seem to buy trucks with loud mufflers. Everyone has a different contractor for this and for that. They come in loud any day of the week. I had one sit in his truck yesterday blaring his comedy album. At one point the comedian said F*** this and F*** that. I was outside working in the yard and I noticed that he would wait until a lady or group of ladies were walking dogs and replay that section as they walked by the tinted-windows of his/her loud truck -- I guess to have fun attempting to offend.

As far as multi-generational and teenagers -- didn't leave that behind either. In my new neighborhood, there are still teenagers. Not 30 day visitors either, full families raising kids in the villages. I spoke to one family at the family pool and they were under 50 with 3 kids. They said they were living in the villages on a year rental until they decide if Florida is for them or not -- the husband has just been transferred and the wife was a stay-at-home mother. They were nice, so that was a plus -- and figured it wasn't my job to discuss deed restrictions and renter rules. Another guy is under 45 and raising his 14 or 15 year old alone in a house on the same street. This same guy goes to the quiet pool and blasts AC/DC and Hip Hop music every time.

Apparently, so many people have been bothered by this that a white Villages neighborhood watch truck comes by the quiet pool every 30 minutes each day as a result.

I'm not hating The Villages, but I figured things were going to be a little different -- I guess I am a little disappointed. And yes, I know anyone can buy in The Villages, but was told that not everyone can live in The Villages.

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.

These days of the lazy worker, it will be easier for the kids(40'to 50's) just to move here and live rather than selling it.
Deed restrictions have no authority over a inherited home. No age restrictions can be enforced. The Villages will be getting younger and younger as time goes on. With that said. These new residents will not have the same retirement goals as we did.

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?
