Argh, the car park opposite my flat has a faulty generator / ventilation system *again* and is making such a loud racket that it will be impossible to sleep normally, so I'm going to have to sleep in the hall with all the doors closed tonight. 😢 😠
(the operator refuses to come out and fix it and environmental health say it's not their problem)
Ugh, feeling rough after having to sleep on the floor last night. Car park ventilation is still going at full blast, so loud I won't be able to take calls in the day. I don't understand how there is nothing I can do about this - the council never respond to an environmental health report and the police say it's a matter for the council.
Going to buy a camp bed today so I can at least have a mattress and be elevated.
@pwaring Is there a co-working space near you which would at least allow you to get away for a bit?
Otherwise, can you quietly encourage some civil disobedience to silence the ventilation system?
@pwaring @falken @kinnison how big are the vents? I wonder if someone accidentally emptied a couple of cans of expanding spray foam into them, it might dampen the sound considerably and cause the generator to overheat and cut out.
Or it might catch fire and burn the whole place down, which is probably less great, as then you’d have lots of siren noises to worry about too.
@falken @kinnison That would work if you could actually get as far as the fan. 😀
(the generator is underground, as is the ventilation, all I can hear is the noise coming out of the vents)
