Amen. I use a reel mower. there is no "mandate" that one has to make noise while doing yard work...let alone only do it ALL DAY every weekend.
THAT...is a bigger source of noise pollution than ANY studio in ANYONE's house.
Want to be a lazy ass and use a gas powered leaf blower for 3 ****ing hours on Saturday afternoon? And everyone in the neighborhood staggers it so it continues all weekend? I can rip guitars at full volume for a couple in the evening. Or in the middle of the night.
BTW...the SPL level, I believe has to be measured from their property line, if you want to get legal. Doesn't matter what it is in their house. Get yourself a SPL gun...go out to the property line and do a reading when the drummer's banging away like Bonham. Look up your local noise ordinance. If your ass is covered say, "Go ahead and call the police." They won't come many times before they identify THEIR problem.
