--- Quote from: Fraser on June 06, 2022, 10:59:12 am ---Low frequency noise pollution can be very disturbing to anyone suffering from such. It can become a form of low level torture use as a dripping tap might if you can hear it, but cannot stop the noise being made. The brain can start to focus on the irritating stimulus to the point that sleep is affected and the noise becomes a serious problem to the person ‘hearing’ it. Note that noise does not have to be in the normal hearing range of a human to be detected by the body. This is especially true of low frequency noise where transmitted vibrations may be involved.

If a neighbour annoys me to the point of no-return that is the method I would take! An array of low frequency speakers forming a focused point in their bedroom, warbling and cutting unpredictably. The environmental protection limits are completely inadequate in this area. A limit of dB A weighted at the nearest residential boundary is common in Australia (hence the above questions about the specific zoning).

I agree. Over here low frequency noise pollution is getting more attention fortunately.

You're in France, the land of the French, and you're rude enough to refer to them in such an unkind, potentially racist manner? Watch your step old bean; *you're* the outsider there!

I got to that comment and didn't read any further, what an ignorant statement to make.  As an English person myself, even I can understand that the French have far more class and culture than most English people could ever dream of having.

I am not a native English speaker myself, but I am pretty sure that this phrase is used in a dismissive way. If that was your intent -- dismissing someone who is trying to help, and implying that he is narrow-minded, out of touch etc. -- then I don't know why we should bother with further replies.  :-\

Edit: Typo fixed.

In the handful of times that some ignoramus has referred to me as "boomer", I've chuckled to myself, very content in the knowledge that I've lived much longer than them, have more experiences and understanding.
