Just when you thought you were safe from everything else killing you (not not really), Democracy Dies in Darkness lets us know that the Journal of the American College of Cardiology says that loud sounds are contributing to heart disease as well. I guess all those years in the pit are surely going to take its toll. I am personally blaming Al Jourgensen.
I say turn it up and knock off a few years so that your loved ones will have to spend less money on you in a nursing home.



“Noise can be considered a cardiovascular risk factor,” he said. “Importantly, this is a risk factor that cannot be managed by patients or by doctors; it just can be managed by politicians by making laws with low thresholds for decibel levels during the day and during the night to protect the people living very close to noise sources.”

... to make sure you don't have double trailer semi's compression braking right outside your window at all times during the day - you HAVE seen those "compression brakes prohibited" signs, haven't you?.

Not every sound comes out of a speaker....

so do we move away from airports or do they move away from us?
 
yes, because airports and trucks and all other sources of loud noises are the same.

Look, I'm generally libertarian but *some* government is necessary because of the assholes among us.

Likely neither at first. It could be as simple as instilling a plan that in X years Y distance must be maintained from the perimeter of the airport. This is either accomplished by yes moving one or the other. Cheaper to buy out the residents I’m sure. But any new airports built could be constrained by this hypothetical.

Or it could be as simple as the other much more likely example of limiting certain types of noise. Compression Brakes (Engine Braking/Exhaust Braking) having restrictions placed while in neighborhoods.

No, you need government to help your neighbors turn down their volume :p

How come the worse someone taste in music is, the louder they have to play it ?

Right on man. No wait. YOU kids get out of my yard!!

The only noise gripe I can make is straight pipe motorcycles. They are as loud as a open exhaust car and yet they get a pass.
Now consider when there is a rally or a poker run going on in town and 100+ Harleys with loud pipes are going by your house.

Actually the older you get, the louder you need to turn up the volume just to hear it. :D

I think the old people just don't want to hear it anymore, so they say it is too loud if they can hear it at all.
 
My retort would be Keith Richards, although perhaps the drugs counteract the aging problem.

I agree Kyle, I would much rather party hard and enjoy the life as it is, then play it safe and be hit by a bus on some random day, or even worse live into obscurity of old age where I'm slowly drooling and crapping myself to alzheimers....lol

It was really loud in here and I am having trouble forming sentences.

 
I don't really get this study. It's like, replace noise with stress and you get the same exact result.

They already do this today. You cannot buy property at major airports within the fence line. You can at some smaller ones BUT then you are choosing to live there. Also a lot of airports have noise abatement procedures in place to minimize impact on surrounding areas.

Its not like airports just pop up unannounced.

No we have laws for working hours also in some areas. Here is an example from Montgomery County MD:

Daytime: Weekdays: 7am - 9pm; Weekends & Holidays: 9am - 9pm Nighttime: Weekdays: 9pm - 7am; Weekends & Holidays: 9pm - 9am
Non-Residential 67 dBA 62 dBA
Residential 65 dBA 55 dBA

Note there are separate laws for motor vehicles.
 
So when you start to lose your hearing as you get older it's more of a defense mechanism?
 
There you go boys, next time the wife is yelling at you, just play the "why are you trying to kill me" card.
 
I'd be in favor of stricter noise control where I live.

Tons of assholes blasting their horns outside my window at 3am.
 
Sigh. Life is a death sentence. Don't sweat the small stuff and enjoy it while you can.
 
So does this mean I can get the military to stop buzzing my house when the are practicing their mountain flying? When you can see DOWN into the cockpit you know they are flying low.

Today's leftists will halt the unfair aging process by screaming racist at it.

Also thumbs up for Ministry although Al can go fvck his hep riddled ass.

Too fast for me. I did have a camera in hand one day, but I was too busy trying to cover my ears ;). They sometimes fly up the canyon below me--but not on schedule so I'm not going to park myself out there since weeks can go by with no activity ;). Mostly they seem to come out of Fallon NAS, though sometimes big 4 engine turbo props come by don't know where they fly from but they really resonate.
 
Jesus built my hotrod....Ministry...loved them in the 90's. Mind is Terrible Thing to Taste and Psalm 69 were great. After that, no so much.

That's why I ponder if that's why they get hit by cars so often. "I'm sick of this asshole and his loud engine *smoooosh* "I don't know officer he just came out of nowhere suddenly.""

So are they advocating firearm suppressors now?
Think of the lives that will save!

If you can put your political rhetoric and Hollywood action movie lies aside for a moment, in a simple word, YES.

Have you ever fired a gun?
Have you ever fired a gun indoors or an enclosed space?
Have you ever fired a gun without hearing protection?
Have you ever fired a gun with a lot of other people also firing guns at the same time?

I have and I can tell you from first hand experience that having a suppressor can indeed literally be a live saver.
Not to mention it'd be nice to preserve my hearing. I'm already going "deaf and blind" as it is.

By the way, give you credit for using the term suppressor and not silencer. There is nothing silent about a firearm or a suppressor outside politics and Hollywood bullshit.
Even sub-sonic rounds make noise downrange and the action of the firearm itself will make noise.

You're new here right?

I own one and own more than 100 rifles and pistols. i am like one of the most conservative republicans on this forum.

In fact I think Reagan was a candy-ass liberal on firearms rights.

It was sarcasm in my post.
