Peace At Last
It's a gorgeous autumn afternoon, the birds are chirping, and the fountain by my back porch provides a soothing tinkle. The noise decibel reading on the back porch has dropped from 52 to 39 since the fans were turned off several days ago. (Since a 3 db increase means a doubling of sound energy, that suggests that the golf course fans and neighborhood heat pumps have been providing more than 90% of the ambient noise for the past few months.) Let's enjoy the quiet ambience of MacGregor Downs during the period between now and May. Fan season will be here again soon enough. We've had advice from a number of folks about strategies to pursue next spring, so look for things to heat up again when the weather does and when fan season approaches.

We suffer your pain.
Here at Stonebridge in Mo. the board just put up fans. They did not follow covenants. Just put em up. Well fan here is extremely noisy. If the board had went throuh arch committee they would have found out the adjacent owners concerns for noise. They, then could have bought quiter fans or found other non noise solution.
I found right away fans that did same function as one they bought with 1/2 the noise.
