Thank the Lord above that you are lucky enough to hear such a trivial problem. Besides it could be worse, you could have to fight through L.A. traffic everyday.


OK, I need help with this logic. Millions of people are starving so I should just live with obnoxiously loud boats? Come on now, I've thought about it and you're wrong. Problems fester and grow when you "ignore" them. Why there have been posts on this site where its apparent people think everyone else enjoys their loud boat and still probably think excessive noise (beyond the NH legal limit) doesn't bother anyone. Others post that switches should be allowed when you are in the Broads, the problem with that is that hundreds, if not over a thousand households are directly exposed to this noise, not a problem at legal levels but obnoxious at straight pipe levels. Its terrible that people are still starving in this day and age, but don't tell me to put up with excessive noise and smile because of it. Furthermore, loud boats are against the law.
