Noisy Neighborhoods Atlas

Quality of life and concern for property values in my neighborhood, engulfed in low-frequency vibrations emanating from thunderous booming stereos, surrounded by people who communicate primarily through their car horns, and incessant barking dogs, compelled me to create the map below. The inspiration for this map comes in part from the Barking Dog Atlas here.

I would like this project to grow into an effort to address each listed noise problem by developing a method to first confirm the complaint, then inform the problem neighbor that his address has been listed on this site, with steps he can take to have the complaint lifted. I'm working on this part.

But for now, Noisy Neighborhoods Atlas debuts below as a simple map that merely identifies problem neighborhoods. Submit your own report anonymously via the comments section on this post, or by emailing noisyneighborhoods@gmail.com with the Street Address or Block Number of the noise source, including City & State, the Type of Noise, and any comments you wish to add to describe the problem. I'll try to add them to the map the same day they're received. All submissions remain anonymous, and will be sourced as "user submission" on the map.

I've got noisy neighbors!

And I'm here to tell you all about it. This evening I'll be setting up an interactive map that readers can edit to report noisy and nuisance neighbors.

I ran across the Barking Dog Atlas a few months back (via barkingdogs.net), which makes use of google maps to identify neighbors with barking dogs, and my intentions are to expand on his brilliant idea to include nuisance neighbors of all sorts.

Stay tuned.
