oh please yes, and tell me which village because I can give you guys a ton to document... keep you pretty much busy 24x7x365

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.

We have wind chimes but not the tube kind. Ours hardly ever chime because they are heavier flat metal.
We moved here from Hampton Roads area of Virginia. We were directly under and close to Langley Airforce Base. We had jets flying overhead day and night. It's so peaceful and quiet here. Don't mind the truck, motorcycle or lawn people.

Don't forget light pollution!

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.

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

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.

I must admit I haven’t seen a problem as yet.

I live one block from Morse and one block from 466, so there is fire station a couple hundred yards away. I keep my windows closed and my air conditioner on all the time. I can sometimes hear a truck or motorcycle go by, but it’s not bad. Even outdoors it isn’t bad. I can often hear the music from Lake Sumter Village at night, but not if the TV is on. However, if I lived six or eight houses closer to 466, the noise would be hard to take.

I doubt that you will convince the state to pass and enforce strict laws regulating muffler noise or convince firetrucks to stop using their sirens. However, there are many thousands of homes farther from a major road than is your house. You might want to consider a move. I have a friend with a lovely home that backs onto Buena Vista, and she is searching for a quieter place. Like you, she can’t take the noise.

I grew up in a city. I could <hear> the ships horns on the river. I could hear the sound of the street cars’ bells and the street cars stopping and starting. I could hear the sound of dogs barking somewhere among the homes around ours. I could hear the sound of taffy horse-drawn wagon (!) plodding down the street.

I could <smell> the four o’clocks in the afternoon. I could smell freshly mowed lawns.

I could <see> the skyscrapers downtown from the third floor of our home - at one brief point the governor’s mansion for the state.

I am thankful for all of my senses.

But folks, I draw the line on loud internal combustion engines, blaring music (from Abba to Vivaldi to Zeppelin), horns and loud conversation in national parks (and the like).

The dogs are taking over, I agree.

How about the idiot neighbor with the wind chime 12' away from your lania that runs 24/7 and sounds like someone ringing your doorbell nonstop! - now thats noise pollution!

I love wind chimes! I think the sound is very relaxing.

Old people turn crabby but I don’t know how or why.

[MrFlorida]

Don't buy a house near a main road, or the turnpike if you don't want to hear car or truck noise..
