Sunday noise

[N80]

A few years ago someone was setting off some very loud explosives.

Tannerite? I have a can. Had it for years. Never tried it.

It's hard to get ahead of the Sea Fury...unless maybe it's an F4U Corsair! The Spitfire, Hellcat, Bearcat and P51 Mustang are all in there too...not to mention the P38!

A little off topic, too, but they would make noise on Sunday.

This site has a list of all the P- and F- numbers. Using that as a lead for more research, there were a handfull of 500mph+ piston engined fighters in development in WWII, but jets took over, instead.

I have the same kind of neighbor, fires a cannon sometimes as late as midnight but he likes to sleep till 1000 since he works the evening shift, has done this for the past few years but recently added a baby to the family so it has stopped for now... He is about 200 yards away from the edge of my property so I have added a mule and a few ear-piecing donkeys to my animal population, Eeyore (one of the donkeys) can wake the dead when he gets going and we go feed at 5am and my wife teases him with feed and that really sets him off.

A few weeks ago, met my neighbor at the corner of my property and asked him how the baby is doing, he said they were having trouble sleeping due all the noise from the new animals I have, I told him I had not noticed but the loud explosions seemed to have stopped. He admitted he needed to be more considerate, so I told him I would move Eeyore to another property but would retain his services if needed.

Noise is in the eye of the listener I guess...

To me, the sound of a donkey winding up at dawn is musical. I love the sound. Other barnyard critters who are pretty vocal are roosters and peacocks. You can hear a cow in heat a mile away, but mostly they are pretty quiet.

The comments about shooting are interesting. I have neighbors who pasture livestock. Any time I am going to be shooting I call them and let them know the planned time so they don't worry about some urban yahoo killing their stock.

Shooting is background noise at my country place. Cows make a good bit of racket. We have anywhere from 300-600 nearby. Coyotes right out side the window will make your hair stand on end if they wake you up from a dead sleep. Whip-poor-will right outside the window can drive you nuts in the spring. But, I don't really mind any of that stuff...even on Sunday morning.

Neighbors used to have peacocks. What a racket but it was in the distance. I could crank them up with a turkey diaphragm call. ;-)

Train in the distance is actually nice.

State road out front is closed to through trucks but we occasionally get logging trucks in there. Hate jake brakes.

That might have been it. I saw some speculation on the source of the noise/explosion and it might have been tannerite. Whatever it was, it was LOUD! If it came from a small can, that would be amazing.

Love the sound of the wind in the pines, the roosters, the donkeys, the cows, the kids playing off in the distant school yard, the coons fighting at night, the opossum foraging at night, the coyotes and the distant trains at crossings, the night hawks and owls....even ATVs and dirt bikes in the distant.

Can anybody say "Johnny Popper" ?

Maybe one guys music is another man's noise.

If you like it, it is music,

If you don't like it, it is noise.

I grew up living about 150 feet from a side track. My Dad ran a sand dredge that operated 24 hours a day. I got used to hearing the engines switching and eventually learned to sleep through most of it. One thing that always woke me up, was when the old steam engines broke traction. Never forget that sound....chug...chug...chug...chugga-chugga-chugga-chugga-chug!

If you're Catholic you can go to 5:00pm mass on Saturday night so you can get drunk and not have to get up on Sunday morning..... ooops. I, ah, errr, I mean, if you're Catholic, and your job requires you to work on Sunday, you can go to mass on Saturday evening to fulfill your Sunday obligation.

This is a pretty ****** post for a moderator, or any decent person for that matter.
