This guy a few doors from us is have his driveway "paved" (is in flood plain - but that's another matter). The thing is the chaps doing this work have been at it for 7 WEEKS now! The noise of that brick-cutting-noise-from-hell machine every day (except w/ends) is truly dreadful. No point in asking politely if anything can be done to reduce it - like use shields on the machine - maybe - he's not the co-operative sort. The thing is that terrible noise is distubing not only us but must be a few hundred (majority elderly) people around here. I can hear the noise easily 300 yards away and that's a big radius. I don't think noise pollution is treated as a "real" pollution anyway and, from just observation I must agree many people don't seem bothered by it - but otoh many are. Imho, cutting that many bricks for that length of time should mean either noise blocking screens or they take the damn things away to some factory and cut them there. Costly yes - but why should we have to put up with this noise for so long! Thanks for reading
