Hi and Low in the Village of Justice

So,

Another strange couple of days in the Village of Justice, IL.  Saturday the 9th of April started as an incredible day- 38dB.  You definitely could not hear the demolition of the buildings on the corner of 79th and Cork. In fact, by 11am the noise dropped to the lowest I have recorded 35 dB since I started this project!  It could be best described as amazing- the birds were singing, calling and mating ( Starlings, Northern Flickers, Grey Catbirds, Nuthatches and even a few kinglets). It was so peaceful and the Village of Justice just seemed like the most perfect place to live for the day.

Sunday was raining but in the morning it was 46 dB and rose to 50 dB by 1pm.  It stayed that loud through the Monday morning recording ~5:45am.

It would be wishful thinking magical if the construction happening on the frontage road included a sound barrier!
