My dad was on his city's environmental control board. He learned that noise is actually quite hard to regulate. And every locality has to figure out their own unique noise ordinance. It should be solveable, but it might be realistically hard to solve.
- lofaszvanitt 5mo agoWhat is hard to regulate? You point a directional mike towards the data center and towards the plains where sheeps roam. Compare, send the cheques and nuke them.
- pllbnk 5mo agoI think that it's because noise is regulated in terms of decibels while humans only perceive noise by the sound's frequency and profile. For example, a fairly low frequency constant 30 dB low-frequency sound might be perceived very differently than the sound of the same parameters but following a footstep pattern, and I am speaking from my own anecdotal experience here. So, what we can measure is sound, but we don't have a good standard for measuring noise.
