Hey here’s an idea.. why don’t we stop building fancy hermetically sealed buildings for the rich and collectively take our yuppie asses and move to Cobble Hill or something.

Then we can build a bubble around it and walk around with 20 thousand dollar ventilators and drive noiseless cars so we don’t have to deal with all those pesky “people” earning a living and anything remotely industrial because after all, that’s what third world countries are for. They have no place here, in NYC and the greater metro area which is the most industrially dense area in the country.

Dear Phony “Dumbowner” – to all that are not on to your game, allow us to clarify – you have not only taken to using the real name of a real person, in this case, Ms. Lenska, but you have also have impersonated us, “dumbowner” by using our name to post your idiotic comments as well. We suggest you indeed stop the madness – if you are experiencing an identity crisis to the degree that you feel the need to impersonate others – in this case, posting your comments in the name of other people posting on this blog, we urge you to get yourself some help. I don’t believe anyone on this wonderful blog would appreciate your attribution of your own comments, to them. Not cool.

Stop the madness. The real Rula Lanska is a British tranny and not some tool living in Dumpo. Did we tell you, we know her? As we say in Britain, I’m gonna “Rula” with my “Lanska”.

I moved to Dumbo a few months ago and live quite close to the bridge. I accept that I have to deal with the noise in an apartment, after all I went in eyes wide open. However, while I am walking the dog or using the park, the noise is alarmingly loud.

To address this issue, I am considering putting together a petition for soundproofing of a portion of the span to the relevant authorities. As well, I am a practicing attorney and will be doing some research to determine whether there is a legal angle to pursue (repeat violations of noise ordinances in parks or in residential areas, etc…)

If anyone is interested in joining me in this effort, please respond here. My email is sutahari@yahoo.com.

Anybody have any experience or opinion? I hate to make mistakes.

Thanks 10years in dumbo. Although I have been in Dumbo for a really short period of time, I think the neighborhood is great.

oh, and i agree with tbone and thriving. certain areas of dumbo is noisy, and other areas are quiet. either way, i find it comforting. if you can’t stand the noise, soundproof your windows. also there are more quiet neighborhoods in brooklyn.

we went with cityproof but people i’ve talked to have been happy with citiquiet’s work as well. both are similar. i’ve heard apartments with both and they block out noise pretty well. try negotiating with them since there isn’t a set price for the windows. after researching both and finding them comparable, we went with cityproof because i liked the sales person.

What about Citiquiet? Anyone have any comments on them. I just moved in and got a very competitive quote from them.
