Here is a graph, summarizing my amazing weekend. The legal threshold in Belgium (Walloon Region) is 40 dB(A) at night and 50 dB(A) during the day. Not a single moment of respite, calm or serenity. We no longer know what to do. It is driving us crazy.

The building to which these machines are attached is empty from 5 pm to 8 am, and at weekends. Yet the machines continue to run throughout the night, despite the absence of any occupants, exposing nearby residents to continuous noise well above the legal limits.
