So yesterday evening we went downtown and while sitting at the closest benches to Lake Shore Drive at Buckingham Fountain I pulled out my phone to check the noise level. The smartphones of today is a powerful tool and as it turns out very accurate in giving sound level measurements. The phone showed and average reading of 52dB which I checked over several minutes. 52dB reading some ~135ft away from an 8 lane expressway that was quite busy. Come on Village of Justice Illinois- we should be able to do much better being almost a mile away from the expressways! I do find it odd that the political groups (in the village) that I sent information about this project including some background about myself and an expressed desire about becoming active in the political sphere have not returned any of my emails. Who knows, maybe they changed the political group name(s) again. I guess it just gives me the opportunity to express my feelings and data points to the world instead.
