Wake up and hear the jackhammers...

I am sorry to hear that you have been awakened the past couple weeks by construction workers and their jackhammers and I am glad that it has been more peaceful lately and the closest thing that I can recall to that is one day me and my fiance got woke up by equipment over at the farm making all kinds of racket and we are still not sure what they were doing over there.

We haven't had jackhammers going (thankfully) but we do have garbage trucks that roll through here at 4 am emptying dumpsters. Sometimes I sleep through it but other times it wakes me up. There isn't anything I can do about it but live with it...it's part of living in apartments. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

for me, i live near the railway station... so i am really annoyed if i have to hear the sound of the train especially at night... i am an early bird and always go to bed around 9.30 pm maximum... so i am really annoyed if i am trying to sleep and i hear the loud sound of the train engine and horn... take care and have a nice day...

On this past weekend, the neighbors were contructing there house too and I was so disturbed listening to jackhammers producing so much sound. I guess they were upgrading the construction in their kitchen like making kitchen shelves etc. I just put a pillow on the back of my head and lay down on bed on my belly covering my ears with the pillow.

i live in a quiet countryside.but each morning,cars or motorcycles whizz along every now and then.esp. when market day comes,peddlers and buyers ,and other kinds of people crowd into the narrow street.our house is near the street.that doesnt wake me up yet. believe it or not, sometimes i can be awakened by my mother and our neighbours' gossip!

i've been awakened so many times by the bawling of our neighbor's whiny kidS. they have this kid francesca who is a total brat and would cry and scream really loud a lot. for a long time, i wished everyday that she would outgrow her brat from hell phase, and i think right now she has just a little bit. she has stopped throwing tantrums in the mornings, although she still does on other times of the day. HOWEVER, she has this new baby brother who i guess picked up her abominable habits and has since taken over the early morning spot for bawling. i'm starting to think it's hereditary. they even do this in the middle of the night. there were times when i can't take the noise anymore and i yell at them, but it only worked once. i have considered reporting them to child services since there are times, especially at night when the kid starts crying and coughing and they ignore him. nobody tries to soothe him back to sleep...

Here although the HOA is always complaining they don't have money for the important things, they still waste it paying a guy to run a leaf blower, the purpose of which I cannot directly ascertain other than its high value in making unwanted noise and distributing dirt and debris onto everyone's just-swept porch. Fortunately we live in an upper, so we get a little less dirt, but the noise is intolerable. Hubby was just mentioning today how quiet it is -- you can sure tell it is a holiday!

Hi Anne, Well I've been awakened this very weekend by some really annoying neighbors who have been turning on their stero on Sunday morning before 9:00am and blasting it with the windows open. I don't know what the he11 they were supposedly listening to this week but last week it was Michael Jackson, who I like but not at that level on a Sunday when my bf and I want to sleep! They stay up very late and they are extremely loud and have their tv, stereo screaming children, screaming parents. Well, I'll be taking care of this asap! I also get wakened by the guys that work in my apartment complex doing the lawn or weedwacking! There's always something loud going on here! That's why I have my trusty ear plugs-except unfortunately they don't keep out all loud noises.
