They sat parked in their camp for hours shaking our teeth apart. We could not even have conversations with each other for hours on end. And this would go on into the wee hours of the morning.
The Rangers visited them multiple times and by Thursday, they were out and about more often and kept it relatively low volume when they were parked.
I'm glad to see this issue being addressed. It's one thing to blast ear drums on the deep playa,,, a completely different situation in the middle of BRC. Bad manners can run wild sometimes,,,, jus' sayin' common sense and courtesy SHOULD rule, but seems a stranger to some.
I have a fire truck out there..........so, stand by it with a match, yell "fire" and I'll hit it with 250 psi water from the monitor. Not sure how many GPM it'll put out, but, it'll be fun while it lasts (3/4" orifice, if anyone can calculate it).EspressoDude wrote:looks like a lot of kindling on a trailerGalaxo Magic wrote:That stick thing did not bother us at all when it was out by the trash fence but on Burn Night it was a few hundred feet away BLASTING DnB.

Sound measurement is logarithmic.some seeing eye wrote:In a free sound field, like outdoors, doubling the distance reduces the level by 6dB and halving it increases the level by 6. So a change of 6 is half or twice as loud.
It's pretty easy to make an emp generator.Savannah wrote:I'm glad and relieved (and surprised) to see mutant vehicle sound levels being addressed. I love all kinds of music, I like it cranked, and I love to dance to it, but I'll never forget the party bus that came down E street in 2008 and played their music at top volume at 6:00 or 7:00am, out of sheer cruelty. They had no illusions about bringing the party to anyone; it was sheer sadism (and overwhelming, even through silicone plugs). No one was dancing, but people were yelling at them to go away. And they stayed and stayed, daring someone to do something about it, before moving on in 15 minutes or so, by the time anyone could've gotten a Ranger.
There is every difference between attracting people; getting them to flock to you, which--if you are awesome--will not be a problem, and forcing your "gifts" on unwilling people, like a creepy flasher on a subway.
You caught me Mr Gyre! But I appreciate your participation.gyre wrote:some seeing eye wrote:

Sound measurement is logarithmic.
Depending on how this is read, I think it is misleading, or just wrong.
IIRC there is some language in the MV licensing forms about low volume at the temple.............Things like that, though, are rarely enforced.some seeing eye wrote:OED, I tend to agree! But commercial laser rangefinders are Class 1.
I'm a strong proponent of laser safety. Maybe we need a NEW Laser Policy for Mutant Vehicles (and mutant individuals)?
Rev Phunzjyn I'm 100% in favor of a total ban on amplified sound at the Temple Burn as a condition of MV licensing and future return.
So this means your not going to Burning Man?.. We can get along with fewer asshats like you..shubes wrote:Give me a break, if you don't like 24/7 loudness, DON'T GO TO BURNING MAN!!!!!
Who the hell complains about burning man? Noobs and ol' skoolers. The only thing worth complaining about is how all the damn visitor-fill noobies are watering down the essence of the event by pressing such customary "courtesties" that are expected in the default world.
What next, no lasers because they can cause harm?
No display of nudity or provocative imagery because they can harm children development?
No defacing the Temple with your thoughts, honors, and totems because it harms the art of the Temple?
All sound off by 3:00am because it harms all the sleeple in RV's out in the suburbs?
Screw all that...
Burning men and women should keep Burning Man as uncomfortable as possible for rich and famous elites, stuffy OC noobs, and librarians. Perhaps they won't want to come back next time and there'll be plenty of tickets available for the rest of us who like Burning Man for what it is AND isn't! What it's NOT is a state park campground.
Suck it up, no special requests honored, deal with it or stay the hell off the playa. Don't come there with any expectation of acquiescence to your comfort threshold.
SO sad Borg is addressing sound complaints. They just need to focus on ticketing system complaints.
