Residents’ late-night vibration complaints prompt committee to investigate
Summary
Trustees described multiple complaints from the Dombrowski family and others reporting late-night vibrations/disturbing noise possibly caused by resonance; committee asked staff to attempt measurements and correlate events with nearby industrial activity.
Committee member (speaker 1) described several reports from the Dombrowski family and other residents of late-night vibrations or noise near their home, saying the disturbance ‘‘seems to me that it is something real’’ and may be a resonance or vibration that could be measured.
"It seems to me that it is something real... it seems to me that it's some kind of a vibration. It may be a resonance that's bouncing off the building," Committee member (speaker 1) said. The member said residents calibrated their measuring instrument with Natalia and asked why those readings would not be admissible.
Other trustees said they had visited the area and that some neighbors reported not hearing the noise, so the committee discussed whether a diary of occurrences and a calibrated meter could be used to correlate the disturbance with nearby industrial activity. Committee members and staff agreed to attempt measurements and to investigate potential sources and timeframes for the disturbances.
No formal enforcement action or ordinance change was taken at this meeting; the committee asked staff and trustees to gather additional evidence and follow up.
