What is acceptable noise levels? Everyone has a different tolerance level. Sawing hammering power tools in the garden. Rave banging music from car stereos passing hooning neighbours shouting laughing stereo banging garden raving foul language in shopping centres streets gardens dogs barking kids crying screaming. Australias people have no consideration for others I am noticing. Elderly gentleman living by me fell in the shopping centre the other day no one stopped to help i find this bizarre .... I know not every where is the same. Are people afraid to say or do anything in todays society? Wales ever this noisey and un caring i really dont think so??? Or have i turned into an old grumpy person. We all experience annoyance from time to time how does everyone cope? This is,a general observance of late not a personal experience. Just thought I would put a different thread for discussion
