At 100db, 24 minutes of exposure within 24 hours is considered damaging to hearing. At 120dB, it's basically instantaneous damage to hearing. And lot of them have been doing that to harass residents.
If I walk down the street, jab something in someone's ear and damage their hearing, I'd be rightfully charge with assault (probably with a weapon). How is this any different?
This city is well versed in protest, even protests that could shutdown Wellington st, right in front of the hill. It's naive, at the very minimum, to even let these vehicles park right up the hill and blare their horns day and night.
If you think this is just a minor inconvenience, come to downtown and stand next to one of these trucks when the air horn goes off.

- mostertoaster 5y agoStanding next to one of those trucks during the protest, is like standing in a building alone in the midst of George Floyd protests, except you get engulfed in flames instead of your ear drums ruined. And getting your ear drums ruined is no happy thing. Which is why it is crazy silencers are illegal. :)
- josephcsible 5y agoThe loudness of everything falls off with distance. How far away is the 100-120dB measured from, and how far away are these ones from the residents?
