Ellen Sarns We live in a residential area on a river infested with loud high performance boats. The laws pertaining to their loud noise are not being enforced. County law enforcement does not even have a decibel meter to enforce the law. The DNR has one but the range they cover with the limited personnel they have makes enforcing the law difficult.
Our river is navigable for only about 2 miles. The deepest part of the river is a little under 7 feet. The widest point in our river is about 100 feet. We estimate there are at least 14 high performance boats that either reside here or launch downriver at the boat landing , about 100 yards away from our house!
At idle, we have measured their decibel output at over 86 decibels . One of these boats has 3 - 750 horsepower engines. When he fires up the boat it sounds like an explosion! It shakes our house. He can be heard for miles after departing. He likes to rev his engine as he heads out to the bay.
They use their cutouts (illegal) to take a cell phone call, then turn them off to proceed out the river.
This year was particularly noisy. We took video of many of these boats this year to record the noise and identify the responsible parties. One of the boaters has accused my husband of taking these videos to get pictures of "little girls", another has been abusing our boat by throwing our 12 ton sailboat into our dock with his wake and nicking the side of our boat. They ban together, 3 in formation and make as much noise as they can as they pass our dock while harassing us verbally. They have recruited other high performance boats that we normally don’t see on the river to join their cause. They have warned us that if we continue to take video, they will charge my husband as a pedophile, even though I (his wife) have taken most of the video.
We can't get neighbors to ban together because they are afraid of these guys.
A few weeks ago we had some success in getting one boat ticketed by insisting the county law enforcement issue a ticket enforcing the Public Nuisance laws. The office was belligerent with me but very courteous to the offender. Even agreeing with him that "Harley’s get away with it". He just gave him a warning ticket, but it’s a start, the boat hasn’t been back.
These boats not only affect the neighbors where they launch but the other people at the boat landing, the marinas where they fuel up and dock and the people within a huge radius of everywhere they go. We have neighbors who live across the Bay (about 7 miles) that say, in the summer, there is a constant drone from the river from these boats. We have video of a young girl, about 4 years old, covering her ears due to the sound of the engines of one of these boats pulling out at the boat landing, less than 10 feet from her. At one point, the little girl’s mother put her hands over the little girl’s hands (that were covering her ears) and walked her away from the dock area until the violator left.
Every time we make some progress on reducing the noise, they kick up the harassment a notch. Law enforcement seems to be on their side.
We keep getting the same response from law enforcement,
1. no decibel meter (get together with your neighbors and buy us one)
2. short handed
3. Harley’s do it
4. too hard to test
5. too dangerous to test
6. which would you rather have us do, catch drunk drivers or fast boaters (like these guys don’t drink!)
7. loud pipes save lives
8. boys will be boys
9. it’s only a few boats
10. these guys have money and sue when we enforce the law
11. there are only a few people affected by the noise
I recommend adding loud boats to your list of sources of noise pollution.
We would also be interested in any tips you might have on how to get law enforcement to enforce the law.		 11/19/2010

Neil Good to hear from you and to see that you read my article. Trees act as buffers for noise, and it is best to have dense foliage in them. For that matter, any trees with thick leaves will do. Also, they should be tall enough. One idea is to have a closely packed row or two of dense trees and then a line of hedgerow in front, about a man's height. If you are trying to noise-proof your home, try planting a row of trees on three sides around it, with a line of shrubs in front. Or, along the roadside, a continuous line of trees on either side will help.

There is nothing like a specific species of trees that can absorb sound better than others; they all do well if they have big and thick leaves.		 11/30/2007
