>I guess we should outlaw or regulate every labor saving device that produces any form of annoyance, no matter how fleeting. What a bout loud circular saws, concrete saws, jackhammers, vibratory packers, etc. etc. Yes, all of those should be regulated. They should be made as noise pollution-free as possible, and their hours of use be made as small as possible. There should be a monetary penalty for ruining the environment - some kind of noise tax.
