Reading these makes me happy that I live where I am right now (we're moving to VA eventually). I've never had a complaint, but a few years ago I had a guy stop by wondering what the "music" was coming from = my now long gone T-bucket with straight non muffled pipes. He was from 2 blocks away. We do have on Nova a block or so away that gets a little noisy occasionally, but even that's for a couple of minutes and during the day on Saturday before the drags. Now - the hound owned by the Statie across the street, that mutt was out last night at 11:30 yapping away, and since my wife just took a part time job with the town we live in.........
