A jackhammer makes a terrible alarm clock You should call (646) 252-2670 and complain, that's what the hotline is there for. The project has construction noise limits to adhere to, and contractors tend to ignore them unless their feet are held to the fire. If anyone's doing a startup involving maps (e.g. google maps or earth), please put in estimation methods for ambient noise in an area. This is actually a great idea. I'm not a programmer or I'd do it myself, but if anyone wants to give it a shot, you can generate a very rough estimate of ambient noise by using the equation: Ldn = 22 + 10log10(p) which gives the day-night average sound level (Ldn) in dBA where p is the population density in people per square mile (there are a number of population density data sources around the net). This figure will be low for areas near transportation sources like highways, rail lines and airports.
