Too bad fences cannot keep out noise.

I consistently have to ask somebody three houses down to turn down the music they play in their garage... they think because it is a closed-in area that nobody can hear it, but it echoes off the garage door. Most of the time I can only hear the thump thump noise and nothing else, and that is the most annoying part. I've found that for the most part it's renters instead of owners that do this kind of thing, that and let the yards go without watering it or mowing it once a month, things like that.

anyone use electronic dog fences?
If so, please e/m me as i have a question or two. Thanks!
Do you feel that way about the ones used for underground fences too? (sm)
Because it has made our dogs very happy to be able to roam free in our yard and has made us very happy not to worry about them getting run over by a car or lost. We do take them for walks but he is free throughout the day even when we aren't walking him.
Have to have some noise
I haven't tried music, but I have to have the TV in the background otherwise I get sleep with the late hours I work. The silence drives me crazy.
maybe it's a noise in your van. nm

How is your lph with noise in the background? sm
I can do about 350 o 400 lph without no noise, much, much less with music or TV as a distraction. I need quiet, and just the dictators voice.
It's not the noise I'd be concerned about
Is she wearing a helmet that fits? There are daily accidents with children on ATVs. I'm sure she's probably not going fast, but an accident can happen even at 5 mph. If she should happen to flip the ATV, which can happen on an incline at any speed, your daughter could be killed. I don't mean to sound so grim, but it's something to be aware of.
We have an ATV. My 3 boys do ride with their dad and do wear helmets, but it's something I wish I'd never allowed to start. Every time they get on, I feel like I have to hold my breath until they're off.
No music, no nothing, I cannot transcribe with any noise at all.

No noise at all. Can't get into 'the zone' with other

Noise-Abatement earphones?
Does anyone use the noise abatement earphones. I saw them in the store when I bought my last pair of cheapos, and I'm really needing something that keeps out noise, since my husband has started his own business and we are sharing the only office space in our house. Do these really work? The ones I saw were in the range of $35-45 at Walmart. Thanks for any feedback you can give!
Cruise questions regarding elevator noise
I just received documentation for our upcoming cruise and was delighted to find out we have been upgraded to a suite. My only concern is they have placed us near the elevator. Is this going to noisy? Has anyone experienced this before? TIA
I almost have to have some kind of 'white noise' going to be able to be productive. (sm)
In the summer I use fans and in the winter I use a sound machine from Radio Shack or a white noise CD - I am way too easily distracted! :(
Does your town or city have a noise ordinance?
I am sorry, but I hate when people reside in one home, yet they feel they can just run the neighborhood. My parents had neighbors that cursed all of the time.
We just had (live in a townhome) construction workers building a new store in our town "squatting" in the townhome attached to us. My husband was furious. He called the landlord that owns the home. Now, we have at least better neighbors!!!
we called their landlord last summer about the noise
trash and the fact that they had gotten a dog, which they werent suposed to have. next thing you know the landlord becomes their friend and maked deals with them allowing them to keep their dog,.yes, a few of my other neighbors and I have decided that we are going to start calling the police on them. its the only way..Summer is just now getting here and its going to be getting crazy around here. I cant even try to sell my house with their trash....we are moving back to the country...needless to say
Cannot stand any noise in the background. TV on mute.

Good Fences make good neighbors
You can get premade cedar fencing that comes in sections. You dig a post hole at the appropriate distance and fill with a bag of quick-crete. Alternatively, you could buy a used fence from a place that hauls away.
You could also get an electric fence, just hook to a battery and run the cord (for retraining purposes) it would not hurt your dogs.
I feel your pain. Roll up your sleeves and pray for some digging weather!
