[Winona Online Democracy]
I live near to Hwy 61, by far the busiest of conduits through the area,
never have I even thought of complaining about the noise. (Mainly
because I do not notice it. I do notice when it is gone.)
The car screeches, semis breaking rapidly, and stereo bass seems to be
filtered out.
To echo a point made in another post, there really are no things a
citizen can do to solve this pseudo problem as an accusation will not
satisfy the burden of proof required, should the offender choose to
fight the accusation.
on another note,

Light Mortar, Jerome? That would make more noise than the vehicles. Try
something quieter like an M16 with a silencer. It saves on Aspirin.
