What is the name of your state?Texas
Hello, I live in a house right next to my neighborhood lake. Every Wednesday morning the landscaping company comes out to mow the lawn, etc. My city noise ordinance allows them to start work at 7am. However, my family and I work late afternoon jobs. We have been woken up every week and it's becoming a nuisance and really affecting our health. I know the landscapers can start work at 7am, but I looked over the city code of ordinance and it states "device may be used between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and which device did not produce a sound exceeding 85 dB(A) when measured from the nearest residential property." I'm not sure if the machines they are using exceed 85 dB, so I'm not sure what to do. Should I call the police and have them come out with the sound intensity meter to measure the noise? Thanks.
