Raj Randhawa envisions trash being dumped out of vehicles that pass by his City Park home.

That’s not actually what he sees, but it’s how he likes to depict the noise from vehicles that pass his century-old house, which fronts Spadina Crescent.

“People can’t see noise, but if you were to kind of visualize it, it’s like if everybody was throwing candy wrappers out here as they were driving by with these modified mufflers, that’s what the analogy would be,” Randhawa says in an interview at his home.

Late on a Friday afternoon, the noise is steady, but not excessive, despite a high number of vehicles. Randhawa explains the louder noises come when a vehicle has a stretch of empty road and the driver decides to gun the engine.

The frustrated City Park resident feels he has exhausted every avenue available him to try to address what he regards as an unhealthy level of vehicle noise at his home, where he has lived with his family for about five years.
