Our building recently added air conditioning units for the hallway and lobby. The air conditioning controlling units were installed in the building's backyard. It now produces snoring like noise and terribly annoying.
This is low frequency noise. Unlike the high frequency noise, which can be reduced by closing the window, this noise becomes even noticeable after the window is closed, and using ear plug can't completely block the noise.
Our building is a high rise building, and also the first floor are gyms, meeting rooms, storage room, etc. Hence, not many families living in the lower floor and backyard. This cause they ignore us. We and a few others who are suffering have been fighting the noise for 3 months already, but our management team and our board even don't want to spent a few minutes to write an email or make a phone call to reply our complain, let alone take any effort reducing the noise.
Like an air conditioner in your home, only when the temperature is far from the setting point, the machine will start run. Thus it is not easy to be caught by New York Department of Environment Protection. Also, DEP really doesn't do an efficient work, and its noise code and noise detector is not designed for low frequency noise, which is usually not so loud, but much more annoying and detrimental than a high frequency noise.
Today is cold. The machine's snoring sound is strong and are humming majority of the time this morning. I start to feel ear pain and headache. I put earplugs on my ear, but the noise are still coming into my ear. My heart even feels uncomfortable now -I don't have any medical record of heart problem, but I feel nervous now.
I am very frustrated and want all the suggestions from lawyers and other persons to stop this brutal invasion.
