Ang Moh Doo Lan Noise. Poodle Respond Swiftly. If Sporns?

</TR><!-- headline one : end --><!-- show image if available --></TBODY></TABLE>




<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->I REFER to my Forum Online letter, 'Assailed by loud noise despite calls to NEA hotline' (June 6). I have received a letter from the National Environment Agency (NEA), advising that the contractor responsible was fined last year for breaking noise limits on one occasion.
The letter stated that this year, the limits have yet to be broken.
This last fact is the bone of contention. As I write at 8.11pm on Tuesday, there is a din so loud that if it was a neighbour making the noise, the police would be here in 15 minutes to deal with it. I know this because a neighbour used a drill late one night and the police responded promptly to our complaint.
NEA also stated that noise monitors were installed at the site. Either the limits of noise are too high in Singapore or the monitors are faulty, because I cannot believe that in a modern society, the noise the contractor is currently making is considered acceptable.
Most importantly, can someone please tell me what is the difference between a neighbour making a loud noise shattering the peace of a neighbourhood and a contractor building a condominium doing the same thing? In one case, the police respond quickly and the situation is dealt with. In the other, the NEA calls the site to 'inquire' about the noise. The noise invariably continues.

Nothing disturbs the peace more than some moron riding his piece of shit Harley. LTA should make these bastards install mufflers in their pipes. Fucking ancient crap piece of clanking metal.

Mr Davidson aka fatboy etc does'nt need ear plugs & muffs, he only requires synthetic oil, petrol and lots of hot air for his tyres, not forgetting pipe mufflers.....

If you know your engine stuffs well, you'll know that Harley Davidson engine technology is based on a 1900 design used widely in planes of those days.

It's not a V-twin as what everyone claims it to be, it's a 2 cylinder radial engine, thereby giving it it's unique exhaust note.

From an engineering standpoint, it needs an odd number of cylinder to be smoother and Harley with it's 2 cylinder design makes it one of the roughest engines around with a 404 degree gap between firing.

Engines such as the Honda V4 have a 90 degree firing making it one of the smoothest engines without counter-balances.

And it's something only Westerners and those who buy into their lifestyle could appreciate. Personally, it's loud, slow and pointless.

I'll take a V4 mated to a Yoshi pipe any day. Sounds better, go faster.

Hi Halsey:

I don't think he'll wnat to head back to Dover. Even though things have slowed down in Sg, its not slowed down as much as elsewhere. Maybe that's why its so darn noisy in Sg.

Was walking in Tampines Mall and I quickly realized every shop was blaring its own music and the overall effect was just a drone, coupled with people's voices. I think shopping centre management should bar individual shops from playing music and have only ONE source of music piped throughout the mall at a regulated level.

Cheers!
