This is the frustrating part of living in the Village of Justice, IL

So yesterday morning was 60dB at 5:30am and dropped to about 40dB by 9am.  It stayed at about 40dB all day and most of the night (last recorded at midnight).  This in my eyes is magical and exactly what we remember about moving to our house, quiet with a large plot of land.

Now, think about this- how can it go through weekday period of pre-rush, rush hours and post rush hours being so quiet (~40dB) yet somehow 60dB is acceptable.  In my opinion, this is just as unacceptable as having your house shaken everyday.  A couple of the neighbors, seemed OK with both situations but we have to remember- this is our home, our house, our neighborhood, our community.  My hope is that we need to standup as a community and say no more, these situations are unacceptable before it is too late.  Then all we will hear is loud traffic noise and have lower property values and when we complain be told so sorry but it has always been that way.

This morning was 46dB at 5:30am
