I’m worried our street will become a hangout for more motorcycle enthusiasts.
I’m also concerned that if I ask him to stop, he’ll get angry. I approached him once and reminded him of safety issues, but at that time he wasn’t racing his motor. It’s worse now because the noise is distracting, and he repeatedly passes my home. What would be a good neighborly response to this? -- IRRITATED IN MISSOURI
DEAR IRRITATED: Ask your other neighbors if they, too, are bothered by the noise. If the answer is yes, then approach the young man as a group and explain that, while his mechanical abilities are admirable, the noise when he revs his engine is distracting, and it would be appreciated if he didn’t do it in the area of your homes.
If this doesn’t remedy the problem, check the noise ordinances in your community to see if he is violating any of them.
