<p>My readings are about the same as yours of a compressor. Though the construction, Vertical , Horizontal ,Pipe laying, Hydofrac and Flaring noise is off the charts. A typical well pad is done about a year, some take close to 2 years And just as by the way, hearing crickets is one of the reasons I live here. I don't mind change, though I like positive change. I don't see this as being well thought out to say the least.</p>

60db is not that loud in the grand scheme of things but when you are used to hearing crickets it's a bit of a change. Like listening to a diesel locomotive running all night.

For what it's worth I'm simply using a meter that is downloadable to a phone. I have used it in conjunction with a chart showing what noises are comparable to what decibel reading. It seems fairly accurate. I have measured it in the mid to upper sixties and I'm probably 1500-2000ft away. As with all sound weather and other environmental factors play into how loud it is. As the leaves begin to fall it is becoming louder. I believe Hilcorp told residents it would be 50db. I don't know at what…

As the leaves begin to fall it is becoming louder. I believe Hilcorp told residents it would be 50db. I don't know at what range. I just installed a dishwasher that was rated at 48db.

<p>I have taken sound readings from ALL the well pads In Pulaski , Mahoning and Mercer at different phases. Vertical , Horizontal, General construction, seismic testing , Laying pipes, The Hydro fracking and Flairing .I have taken readings from CFP and compressor stations in the above places. Ever time I take a reading it is way over what these township official's claim. I can give you data on each well it's phases and noise levels of each stage. Along with the building of the CPF and compressor stations .. Pulaski rescinded it own noise ordnance to try to get rid of the complaints. WE ALL know this is noisy.. Really? It is like asking how loud a truck is. Well if a truck is on a back road (Like these are) People expect to not have to deal with that day in and day out 24-7 7 days a week. It is like taking truck traffic from Pittsburgh and putting that in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. That really is where the problem is. It does not matter if more people are for something or against it. It does matter that we at all cost protect minorities rights. If the farmers want to cash in on this cool by me. Keep the noise , lights, dust and diesel fumes out of my property.. Just like being a non smoker. You can smoke just don't blow it in my face. This really is a civil rights issue. How to live in harmony with and industry .. Start keep industry away from homes and neighborhoods. I'm not an anti but I'm pro common sense.</p> John, since you are disputing…tag:gomarcellusshale.com,2015-10-06:2274639:Comment:6998802015-10-06T18:10:43.835ZFinnbearhttps://gomarcellusshale.com/profile/Finnbear

<p>I own a lease as well. Yes we all are neighbors and need to work this out. I feel the board is too conflicted period. While some may have good intentions I feel that money has corrupted this process..The only thing I don't agree with you on is the " that's life and this too shall pass".. That is not my style. If that is your style that is OK.... WE are neighbors...Different thinking is good...:)</p>

John,<br />
I wish I could make it but work keeps me out of town. I am a lease holder as well and I don't want this to turn into an ugly discussion. I think Michelle, like most in the township have good intentions. At the end of the day we are all neighbors and we must find a way to work things out. I do not own the property where the compressor station was placed so my complaint can only go so far. I just hope if more go in that the township does something to address the problem, not just foregoing…

I do not own the property where the compressor station was placed so my complaint can only go so far. I just hope if more go in that the township does something to address the problem, not just foregoing a noise ordinance. I will contact Hilcorp and see what can be done. If it's nothing, that's life and this too shall pass. I know Hilcorp had fixed some issues but some remain unsolved. I don't have a problem with council members being leaseholders, but I do have a problem when someone calls a member and they answer the phone as Hilcorp. Ragnars Repo
