Isn’t that type of noise pollution illegal? Here they would pop over with a db meter and if you indeed cannot normally talk, then it would not be allowed between 10 pm and 8 am at least without heavy fines. That would cut in their bottom line a lot that downtime, so they would need to figure out how to do it differently. I guess there are no such laws in those places?



The article addresses this; the fine for violating the state law is a meager $500. They pay it and go on with their day, continuing to violate it.
