Here's the last paragraph of the article -

92-year-old Ruth Brantley was asked if she had a problem with the motocross noise.

"It don't bother me none ---- I used to ride motorcycles," she said.

But with her eyesight waning, she doesn't get behind a steering wheel anymore, let alone handlebars.

"I'd like to ride with them if I could, but I can't," she said.

I liked the part where they were not only complaining about the motocross noise, but also the airport noise related to lots of skydiving, the baseball diamond PA system and also the concerts held at the ballpark, the fireworks, the boat races, chipmunks, birds, butterflies, dung beetles..... Why the hell did they move there when the city would obviously have been so much better???

Sounds like most of the other neighbors appreciate the park.

What a stupid question to ask her. How many 92 year old do you know that don't use a hearing aid?

Noise will always be an issue. I like this stuff but it bugs me after being around it all day for days on end. Monday mornings are nice and quiet.

But I thought that track has been around for like ever. Our races are at a county Fairgrounds and have been going since the early 90's, we get an occasional "new" house buyer in the neighborhood that complains. But the fairgrounds has been there with activity since the 20's. At that time it was built "out in the booneys" away from town.

Like we always say around here............move next to Ohare and bitch about noise.


Now 90-92 db true sound from a 4 stroke would be very nice. They don't need to be so damn loud. Maybe following the 94 db levels would fix alot of things

Racers really gotta start using those noise baffles more often.

Our mx park in Alaska has been around forever 40 years and because of land development in the area people complain about noise. Even on state race days you can barely hear it by the time you get out to the entrance. But what blows me away is they complain about us when we have an international airport and regional fedex hub with nonstop takeoffs directly overhead. The planes are only at 500-1000 feet as they fly over us.

On a positive note, if we ever have another big quake we won't have to worry about noise because there won't be many neighbors to complain. They all built their homes on sand.

A large scale natural disaster with several fatalities is definitely a positive note.

I'm surprised they didn't complain about the waves crashing off the coast of San Clemente. I know that used to drive me crazy when I lived down there.
