“Noise is noise, right?” Brenowitz asked. “It doesn’t matter whether noise is generated by somebody with a nail gun, a plane landing at Sea-Tac or somebody pressure washing your sidewalk. As far as your ears are concerned, it’s the same sound. From the point that noise hits your ears, there really isn’t any doubt in the medical community, that above certain levels, and the higher the level, the greater the risk, we know that the noise levels here are high and construction on a weekday can go 15 hours.”
