the distant incessant sucking sound of the sewage treatment plant in greenpoint. it sounds like the jolly green giant is running his shop-vac all night long...and then around 7AM the pile drivers join the chorus. And let's not forget the bandsaws in the production studio downstairs!!!

Maybe it's because I'm actually from here (born in Manhattan and lived here my whole life), but the noise doesn't bother me a bit. I always get a good night's sleep.

And I live on Amsterdam Av, so I have the buses going by all night.

When I go to suburbia and spend the night, the lack of noise is what weirds me out!

HOW HOW.. could bead bugs have possibly been left off that list? you must be a newbie.

I'm ok now but back in the day it was the random sound of gun Fire just as you were feeling cozy. oh And Those Infernal Crack Heads Fighting Violently for God Knows what Reazon.

I used to live in a suburban part of brooklyn with a bunch of schools nearby. sometimes visiting teams would come with marching bands in tow and park on the corner near my buidling. for some odd reason they used the early morning hours to practice their drumline routine.

Weird restaurant food smells that you can't quite trace and neighbors that incessantly open then close their doors without leaving their apartment.

Thats SO funny. I wish I could see it on Film or some shit!

Thanks for all this attention. Here's a store!

Mosquitoes, when you have one buzzing around your ear at night.

156. People that never stop whining.

What about BEDBUGS.

Ever since I found out my upstairs neighbors have them, I haven't slept very well.

I think a lot of indoor noise could be solved if builders actually built better walls and floors and strived to exceed federal building codes. When I visited a government housing project in Hong Kong, the units were steel and concrete top to bottom and I couldn't hear a thing.

Note the source of 11 of the top 14 noise generators on that sign: the automobile.

The Mets/Yankees/Knicks/Rangers/Giants/Jets. All those work too.

They forgot pigeons cooing / fucking. That's why I switched my bedroom to not be next to the airshaft.

My 12 year old neighbor incessantly plays the trumpet...terribly. It's been two years, you would think he would improve!

But I never complain because it's better than him being on the streets in a gang. Oh well.

We have "on the books" some pretty tough noise laws(including construction sites) i've had to look them up numerous times in an effort to not fully go postal to get a single decent nights sleep(has yet to happen) I just don't understand the point of them because it's blatantly obvious they are not enforced on anyone besides the Clubs/lounges and that's probably because they can give them hefty fines to fund the payroll, other then that it's a damn joke just like 311. It's truly surprising more people aren't committed each year in this city, cause after 4 sleepless nights of Jack Hammering (only in the middle of the night)i was damn close to being fitted for a straight jacket.

When Flatbush was getting repaved last fall, the city thought it would be a great idea to do the jackhammering part of the work in the middle of the night. It would start around 9 p.m. and go until 2 or so in the morning. The worst part was that they would stop for awhile and then start back. Just as you'd think they were done for the night and that you might finally get some sleep, it would start again. I filed a noise complaint and the woman told me what the decibel limit is for nighttime construction work (which this was definitely over), but I'm not sure it did any good.

you people are hilarious. i would love to see the posts complaining about the traffic and other nuisances caused by repaving flatbush or any other busy city street during the day. might as well just not repave it. oh wait, then we'd have to listen to you complain about potholes.

simple solution, move out of the city. bunch of f-ing whiners.
