Moronic noise:


backup beepers:

Backup beepers have never saved a life beyond
what a reasonable backing alarm has.  It's 
panic-stricken idiocy, by idiots, for idiots.  
Why do I need to know that someone one mile 
from me is backing their vehicle.

See: Target's beepers


sirens:

Ambulance sirens, running in continuous fashion 
over the course of an entire run -- regardless 
of traffic level (such as at 3:00 A.M.) -- have 
never saved a life.  It's little boys playing 
with their toys.


gas leaf blowers:

Submental low-lifes shuffling along accomplishing
absolutely nothing -- for all the moronic noise 
they are generating.


exterior-mounted air exchangers:

Sixty years ago:

Commercial and industrial buildings did not utilize 
air exchangers that blast the surrounding residential 
neighborhoods with their soundscape-dominating roar.  
We could actually leave our windows open to let in 
fresh air and the wonderful sounds of summer without 
being blasted by these wrongly engineered systems.

HVAC companies can sell a facility manager on 
absolutely anything.  I've yet to encounter a 
facility manager -- in any walk of life -- that 
isn't thoroughly fictitious, vacuous, low I.Q.
and delusional.  There could be exceptions -- 
just not aware of any. [1]


sport ATVs:

I've seen many touring ATVs out west.  I wave when
I see them, as they putt along quietly in their two,
four or six seaters, just like a jeep.  People out
exploring the wilderness which they appreciate.

It's the sport ATVs -- the monster single-seaters 
whose sacreligious drivers just want to pit themselves 
against nature -- for which they have zero appreciation 
-- that are the enemy.  The loud noise of those monsters 
fills the valleys for many miles around -- ruining the 
wilderness for everyone else.  The wilderness is not a 
race track.

None of this is negotiable.  If you want to be
my friend, you must repent.


Note 1.  Just remembered an exception: the gal at
WRCMN is a gem.  Acting as the facility manager
is something she simply does on the side there.
