I actually cannot believe I am typing this but the council finally voted to implement the new noise ordinance across the board which means we can finally get some sleep without the construction noise at ungodly hours. Honestly my hands are shaking a bit while I write this because it …

As tax paying citizens of Montgomery County, Texas, we have the right to enjoy a reasonable level of peace and quiet while in our homes. This is a very important quality of life issue. Although some noise in our daily living is unavoidable, such as the routine repair and maintenance of our homes and communities, it is most often controlled by community association deed restrictions. The deed restrictions usually include language that prohibits loud garden and construction machinery between the hours of 8pm to 7 am so as not to disturb its citizensâ

I was gardening yesterday and the leaf blower next door just went on for hours and it really reminded me why I started this because my windows were literally shaking. People have been messaging me these wild stories about construction crews starting at dawn and I am currently figuring out the best way to get this in front of the county officials who actually have the power to change the rules.

There should be a limit to the parties. In Humble it is 11pm. Here I am outside of Conroe listening to booming bass and drunk singing - in Spanish, over a PA system, in my house, 1/4 mile down the road, at midnight, on a MONDAY.

if lawmakers had greedy developers running their heavy equipment in their backyard at 3:00am we would have a noise ordinance.

we need and ordinance to stop these people that are so inconsiderate.

Lisa Coker

Turn down for peace.

Anita Smith

They are far enough away I can't even see the "neighbors" somewhere behind me who have their music blaring so loud that it wakes me up inside my bedroom at night even with the noise of a fan blowing. At the very least, turn down the bass which rattles my windows.

Living next to inconsiderate neighbors in the Woodlands that leave dogs barking outside. One has two beagles that howl at ungodly high decibel level.

Brian White

we need this

Mary Ann Zack

Montgomery County needs this Noise Ordinance.

Aaron Gillette

We pay lots of money to own our own property/home. We should have the right to expect peace and quiet on our own property.

Montse Feu

I can't sleep at night, my neighbors are outside partying as loud as they can, many nights each week.

tom williams

people do not care about other peoples right to peace and quiet in there homes we need laws that hit these people in there pockets that is all they may understand

I live in Waller and have the same issues. I can not stress the need to allow counties to create local noise ordinances enough.

Leah Harter

I don't live in this county but will sign if it may get a precedent law in place.

bruce

we need peace and quiet at night time.

wendy

Can someone please help me and tell me where I need to go and what do I need to do to get something done about the noise?

Joe H Croisant

We have a gun range located on FM1314 and the noise is a real nuisance as can't enjoy sitting outside on our deck due to noise.

Kelley Haynes

This is necessary to be able to enjoy your time at your home as intended. It is a shame that we have to force others to be respectful.

Don Tobias

The noise out here in Brushy Creek subdivision is ridiculous. There needs to be some options for penalizing these people have no respect for anybody around them

I have lived in my neighborhood for over fifteen years and until about 2 years ago it was very peaceful, quiet and serene. That is why we moved here is to enjoy peace and quiet in the country, and sit on the back porch and enjoy nature. Now it is like living next door to Iraq. Some guy and his wife bought just barely over ten acres (15710 Coe Loop, Magnolia) about 5500 feet from our home and has since built a gun range, of which they shoot incessantly all day long, sometimes before 7am and recently until 9:45 PM. We hear automatic weapons, 50 calibers, 45s, rifle shots, explosions, etc. It is like a terrorist training ground. (And it might be) We did not bargain for a gun range. There should be laws to stop someone from operating this way when it poses a nuisance, and interferes with peoples right to enjoy their home. All I hear now when we sit on the porch trying to enjoy some coffee and quiet time is repeated gun fire. The explosions rock the neighborhood and shake our windows. I have had small things fall off shelves occasionally. It is unconscionable that the law is on the side of land owners with more than ten acres in disturbing the otherwise peaceful environment in which we live, And we lived here first. Shouldn't we get a "say" in some one operating this type of range? Don't get me wrong, I am not against guns, I am a member of the NRA. But the law allows persons who own more than ten acres to shoot whatever they want. I think the law is flawed, and the spirit of the law is that the owner, and only the owner has this right, not his guest, or others that he allows to shoot there. I understand hunting, a little target shooting every once in awhile, but every day, every weekend, every Holiday and even on Christmas morning, just constant shooting and explosions is ridiculous, and is out of hand from the intent of the law. I would like to see some people band together and fight these people who come in and take over our neighborhoods with these type activities. A

The noise/music level is ridiculous at my home on most weekends ..

There are emission control and noise ordinances for vehicles that are not being enforced when owners modify exhaust systems etc. I think the police should make this a priority. No vehicle or motorcycle comes from the factory with a loud exhaust and violators are easily spotted.

Laura Lanford

My neighbor's 3 loud dogs have woken me up every night this past week. With my windows closed and sound machine running. The same neighbors don't answer their door when I knock to ask them politely to take their dogs inside at night.

Maricela carbajal

Stop the noisy please

Preston Boudreaux

MY NEIGHBORHOOD HAS BEEN INFILTRATED BY RENTERS WHO PURPOSELY MODIFY THE EXHAUST ON THEIR CARS. FOR NO OTHER REASON THAN NOISE POLLUTION.

Anonymous

Driven from our house every Saturday night by weekly fiestas whose music rattles our windows in their frames.

James Cunningham

We have a neighboring lot of 25 acres surrounded by residential communities that regulary invites groups of shooters to shoot guns including automatic weapons and exploding tannerite on that property. The shooting is constant during the week and the explosions are concussive and have begun to break windows. There is no peace and quiet at hundreds of homes because of the callous disregard for the surrounding homes. Our state legislature should allow us to control our own lives in peace.

Fiona Hammer

We live in a condo. Our neighbor below our unit has her TV on 24/7 all day/all year long loudly. Filing a complaint to our home association didn't work. Putting a friendly note at her door didn't work. We need serious help! All the surrounding neighbors have been suffering. Many have had sleep problem for years!

Steven Williams

I'm fed up with the dogs barking incessantly next door, and nothing can be done about it. What's the purpose of living in your own home if you can't live it in peace?

Anonymous

Our neighbor build a large patio cover and another cover coming off the garage and installed 2 big screen TVs, a kitchen, and loud speakers. They party often, loud and late. We have to sleep in our guest bedroom to get as far away as possible. We have complained to them but they don’t care. We need a noise ordinance!

April Turgutalp

Hopefully this includes dogs barking non-stop 24 hours a day

Said Turgutalp

David Alberts

We need this noise ordinance for Montgomery County, TX.

Audrey Blaylock

Someone has got to do something about this craziness with the music.

Carrie Brown

Everyone should have these laws - too many disrespectful people that don't even care.

Henry Fisher

get rid of loud music after 11 pm

zane tyler

lose loud music after 12 pm

Why do some people think that everybody enjoys listening to their kind of music? It has always been bad, I guess, but having come from 12 acres to a less than an acre I find this type of behavior rude, selfish,and very intrusive & inconsiderate of the other people in the neighborhood!!

Deborah Williams

Its shame you can't do anything about neighbors that disrespect others by being loud and obnoxious !!! everyone has a right to enjoy their home people invest their hard earned money to enjoy their home... Plus it lowers your property value when you have neighbors that party and curse all through the night !

Pauline

Royal Forest Colony Club. Construction companies start as early as 6 am, loud and careless driving dump trucks racing through our main, and inner streets. Loud music after dark, firecrackers after 10pm.

Vicki Mertes

Moved here for the quiet.

Pamela Silsby

PLEASE! I've already had a bullet come through my roof and land on the pillow beside me. Now that we're a gun sanctuary city, that's all I hear ALL night long, sick of it! What was once peaceful is now terrorizing. The old saying goes, "give them an inch they'll take mile" smh

Sharon Creel McCarver

please the noise is out of control, it's almost daily
