Respondents' Comments to Question 79 |
| 1. | Outlaw boom boxes, and exhaust (Jake) brakes. | | 2. | Noise on Elk Lake and harbor has become a problem over the past 15 years. | | 3. | Something MUST be done about those boom boxes in vehicles that blare all night long. My wife has heart problems and the boom, boom, boom upsets her heart rhythms.
The noise from trucks should also be outlawed when they use their exhaust brake for the light on US31. One in particular, 'hot shot trucking', dives all over town in low gear doing the same thing. Usually at 5 in the morning. |
