Call the police district manager and alderperson.

The New Haven Police Department, the Mayor, and our Aldemen need to address excessive noise from motorcycles and cars and enforce New Haven‘s noise ordinance.

This ongoing problem degrades the quality of life for all city residents. In addition to disrupting the daily life of New Haven’s citizenry, both during our collective sacred moments in places of warship, during our concerts and theatrical productions, and in our private moments of thought, loud cars and motorcycles are also a health hazard and negatively affect New Haven’s economy. Businesses such as restaurants with outdoor cafés are negatively affected. Who wants who sit in an outdoor café with loud cars and motorcycles driving by. More importantly, real estate values along all of New Haven‘s avenues, Whitney, Whalley, Dixwell, State and all of our streets are suppressed due to noise. I know people who will not live in New Haven due to the noise. Noise pollution Is one of the major factors cited for the exodus of people from cities into suburbs across the entire country, and in our fair city of New Haven. This negatively affects real estate values and our city’s tax base.

Our elected officials, our public servants and the men in blue, whose salaries we pay, need to enforce New Haven’s noise ordinance, issue tickets, and if necessary, confiscate bikes and cars. The citizens of New Haven have a basic right to a reasonable level of quietude.

Off duty men in blue have been known to participate in the riding of loud motorcycles, which I have personally witnessed and which has been reported in the press, breaking the law of New Haven’s noise ordinance. This behavior has to be reprimanded by the chief of police.

Meter maids should also issue tickets for cars and motorcycles with illegal aftermarket exhaust systems parked along city streets Meter maids and police need to be trained to spot illegal aftermarket exhaust systems, which are easily identified when looking at the exhaust pipe of a car or motorcycle.

Catalytic converters are often removed from these vehicles to help make them louder, which of course greatly increases air pollution from the vehicle and is also also illegal. This law also needs to be enforced.

Taking these actions will improve the quality of life for New Haven’s citizenry, increase our real estate values, increase our city tax coffers, and positively affect everyone. It’s time to start enforcing New Haven‘s noise ordinance. Thank you!

I think West Haven had this problem with loud motorcycles cruising their beach area and it corrected. Maybe we can learn from them

I first reported this over two years ago. It has remained a daily problem during warm weather (April through October) ever since.

.It is totally up to you but I would not use my real name on this site because you do not know who is viewing these posts and how they may react. You can change your screen name by clicking the image of a person on the top right of this page and chose preference or call See Click Fix 800 369-9060 It will change on this post and future ones. It will not change anything in your post you will have to call See Click 800 369-9060 for that.Also I would not put anything in a post that can help identify where I live or use any name because someone with that name may be blamed,

Do not forget the music blasting cars that add to the mix of cacophony at night. I wake up with a jolt every time this happens and regret that summer is here. The city should address this problem with urgency. It affects the health of people who live on Whitney Ave. I am all for people enjoying the good weather in the summer at the time of their choosing, day or night. But that should not be costing someone else their sleep and health.

Is there any way to have the police department pay attention to this issue. It seems recurring every summer and no improvement or procedures taken.

Posting is not working, call your alderperson

Everyone who is concerned about the increasing levels of noise from revving engines needs to act. Please call your alderperson. They need to know how big a problem this is. Last night, one or more cars kept revving their engine and tearing down the roads well past midnight. This is more than a mere nuisance and a real health hazard now.

I moved to campus from Minneapolis and I cannot wait to leave. I recognize that I'm from a quieter midwest region, but this is the worst city I have ever stepped foot in due to the noise pollution alone. Thank you for the recommendations to call our Alderperson. Doing that now.
