Domestic "noise" pollution

Chainsaws cut branches in 4-6 ft lengths in the open air.

Chippers and shredders cut branches in 1/2 inch lengths inside an enclosed chute which amplifies the noise So thats a minimum of 96 times as many cuts, which are possibly twice as loud as a result of the ampification which makes 192 times as much noise.

Just so long as you remembered to switch the fridges back on.

A load of bollocks. A quick scan of several council sites show no such 'laws'. There are plenty of suggestions about suitable times for noisy work.

Probably hit it with a well-placed hammer. It's the knowing where to hit that makes the difference. Either that, or he plugged in an analyser and cleared a load of faults, one or more of which was preventing the engine from running.

Thought that was a "Changing Rooms" trick.

Well I had a *very* large black poplar tree taken down last year... it probably took five hours in total to take it down (since it was close to another house - the bits had to be roped down rather than dropped). My neighbour (a tree surgeon) drove his chipper[1] into the garden so there was not far to carry the stuff. Total time spent actually chipping was probably less than an hour in total. The noise was probably less intrusive than that of the chainsaws.

[1] A fairly serious affair, that he forked out about £26K for. It will shred a 12' long branch in three or four seconds.

Can't say I found it an issue personally.

About 15 years ago we had a copse of about 140 Poplars which had got to abo ut 50ft high. I though them too close to the house so we had them removed. Took less than a day. They asked if I wanted the chippings for compost so I got a large pile left. They removed most of the trunks in 8ft lengths whic h led me to believe they had a commercial value, though they denied that.

They go to companies supplying wood burner fuel. Dunno if they have actual value or not. Certainly that'a what happened to my neighbour's trees
