Bothering neighbors

[av8or3]

How early do you guys start making noise? It didn’t use to be a concern for me but a family has built a new home just 50 yards from my wood yard. It’s 9:00am as I write this and I’m wanting to run a saw for about 20 minutes or so. I really don’t want to be rude or cause a problem. But it’s been weighing on my mind since they moved in. They’ve been exposed to the noise before, just later on in the day.

Just go talk to them. At work we go by 7am noise ordinance. But if you think it’s going to be a problem it’s better to be in front of it.

i wouldnt worry about it. but then again i dont like most of my neighbors lol

 

[Zackeepr1]

I wait to 10am where I am until I run a saw. But at the same time if time is a concern then then go for it and see if they say something.

 

[Chips&Giggles]

After 9 seems reasonable, 20 minute duration seems reasonable. Also agree that talking to them could go a long way. Our yard neighbor hates us for the backing up beeps on trucks. For residential tree work on the job we do everything we can before starting saws at 9 and often start a little earlier.

You guys probably shouldn’t go to a gtg or you’d be offended lol
I’ve seen saws run at 6am and after midnight

Build your new neighbors a quick, woods ported saw as a gift. Let em know that you enjoy running saws. Then everytime they here u fire up a saw in the morning, they'll smile.

 

[JugHead27]

I don’t have neighbours that close but close enough to hear a saw, weekdays I usually start 8 but sometimes 7:30, saturdays 9 and sundays 10am.

As I early as I get up, most my neighbors are far away so it won't be that annoying. 6-7 sounds like a reasonable time frame, closer to 7 if you're dealing with suburbanites. My family's business follows the "No running equipment before 7" policy in residential environments, so I've always used that as a good baseline.

I mainly worry about being noisy after dark, meaning no straight-piped Dodge piss revs or running Macs with stacks after 9:00. The one time I test-ran a Mac with a stack well after 9 it was politely mentioned by someone who lives a little less than 1/4 of a mile away, and I haven't done it since.

 

[TreeTard]

Time for that electric saw !

If it's not a frequent occurrence, I would not worry about it. But I could be wrong to assume most people are reasonable and understanding.

 

[Jscb1b]

My old neighbors liked cucaracha at midnight. Straight piped Macs at 4 am stopped that quick.

 

[Czed]

Just shoot a rifle or pistol a few time's to give them warning you'll be running a saw

35 years ago my neighbor told me, "as long as you don't start swingin' a hammer before 8 AM, we'll get along just fine." He was true to his word. Go talk to them. See what kind of people they are.

 

[drf256]

Talking to them is the best. I have no one right near me, but I use 7am on weekdays and 9am on the weekends as a general rule.

There is a city ordinance on noise, and I believe that is there rule as well here.

I moved last year ,so now I have neighbors. I asked them what their schedule was for work, 1st,2nd,or 3rd and run machines accordingly. If they are working age and don't work then it doesn't matter.
I worked 3rd shift at a power plant and wanted to murder some neighbors years ago ,so I'm mindful of the working class.
