Description
Every night, all night long there is strong, often-pulsating, low frequency noise, rumbling and sometimes pounding noise coming from the harbor. This noise will frequently move up from the Coast Guard station area towards the Gateway Terminal?
Is this gas tankers moving and unloading? The waste treatment facility? The noise has gotten progressively worse and at least half our block is being disturbed by it at night causing sleeplessness and stress. If this is Gateway-related noise, it is intolerable to a residential community to have such a loud volume all night long. This schedule must be altered or we may have to consider public complaints or legal action.

I am just guessing that this is the noise we are hearing.

tp survey -- do you live in this neighborhood? It was really loud last night around 10/11pm. I have a 2-year-old; it was loud enough to wake him.
I love scf as a tool, but every time I get involved w/ an issue, someone has to say something unnecessarily negative and outright rude. How is this productive or useful?

John Flaherty. Weren't you the one last year when you demanded that people on Kneeland "put their cars in their driveways" when people on that block have no driveways?
You are either be a very sound sleeper, deaf, dumb and blind or in extreme denial, not to hear "any unusually loud noises". Especially at 3AM WHEN PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP. Who cares whether they are "loud" or "deep humming" or whaterver they are at 3AM AND KEEPING PEOPLE UP AT NIGHT. And there are many elderly people who have health issues, related to sleep. You should be ashamed of yourself with your nauseating excuse after excuse for everything the government does. Whatever they are doing at 3am can be done at 3pm instead.

I and many others in the neighborhood have medical issues directly related to lack of sleep. Just b/c you do not hear the noise does not mean others do not hear it.
And bottom line is they are behind schedule so they are doing the work at 2,3 and 4am to "catch up" and they are making their problem our problem. Most people would rather it take them twice as long so they don't do this extremely noisy and disturbing work at ungodly hours in the middle of the night. They can easily do it at 3 and 4 PM instead of AM.
