PARIS: Urbanites seeking peace and quiet in the bucolic French countryside will have more difficulty in taking farmers to court over crowing roosters, mooing cows and stinking pigs in the future after parliament passed a new law, reported German news agency (dpa).

A similar problem happens in cities. People move to cities not expecting all the road noise and people noise and complain about it. My buddy owns a rental and tells me about the complaints some people have and it always gets a laugh out of me.

A few years ago a concert venue was forced to shut down because the land next to it turned into a residential area and they all started complaining about the noise whenever there was a concert.

Imagine moving in next to a place that's sole purpose for existing is loud music and then complaining about the loud music.

Humans are fuckin dumb and I can't wait till we're gone

Same thing happens with fire houses. People movie into a home directly next to or across from a fire house that has stood for over a hundred years and then complain about the siren.

Though reading through it the noise complaints were only a part of the issues that caused them to close

Yeah, looks like a pretty minor factor.

There are 2 Navy helicopter training bases here. This is not a new thing.

And people here as still upset, whine and sue the Navy.

They're very polite BTW. The choppers almost always get to significant altitude before moving around.

It's happening around the Denver airport (again... happened at the old Stapleton airport too). You stupid idiots bought the house knowing it's next to a giant ass international airport! That's why it was so cheap!

It goes both ways. I remember when I was a kid and visited my family outside the city... Couldn't sleep, it was eerily quiet.

You should sue the countruside for being too quiet.

I'm an adult now, I solve problems in the adult way. I just leave the car running overnight and shut the family cat in there, it always bumps into the horn rummaging around in there. Cars and horns. Just like home in the big city.
