Or the municipal sound limit isn't the hard limit that Liz would like to have
Ever been right next to a tractor trailer or other heavy equipment the city uses? It’s all around 100db so unless you want absolutely nothing, not even buses. Thats not realistic.
They also need to account for construction, your house was built with equipment louder than leaf blowers for example. So how would your house be here with more restrictive sound limits.
Yes, and they’re usually gone in 30ish seconds. Those guys with leaf blowers run them a lot longer than that.
I bet if you plotted the noise, it would be numerous peaks and valleys of sound. Leaf blowers are a continuous solid line of noise.
If there’s peak and valleys the people aren’t working consistently…
An excavator or compactor are constant noise all day if they are working effectively. Other than lunch breaks, but sometime they rotate so the expensive equipment doesn’t sit.
No one is gonna pay $300 an hour for equipment and it stay idle 50% of the day, just pissing money away dude.
So when you work your job your output is 100% all the time? No, there’s peaks and valleys in your work. Same with construction.
Sure, but how long are they onsite for? Not the entire project. Why?
Exactly. Which means peaks and valleys in sound. That excavator and compactor get shut off when they’re not in use.
So at the end of a 12 hour shift…. They sit at a constant rev all day so the oils and hydraulics don’t get cold and stiff, it’s also terrible for seals to be constantly dried out from starts and stops.
You’re being disingenuous about the actual severity and longevity of construction projects and equipment.
Or we’re misunderstanding each other and talking about two different types of construction (residential vs commercial) 😁
I don’t discuss/debate with someone who resorts to name calling.
Good day.
