Re: Just in case it was you...
the sound of a normal motor operated normally is just one of the sounds of the water. At my house, at dawn, when we have the windows open at night, I hear the crabbers picking up the pots, and neighbors heading out. At night, boaters returning home from an evening fishing or visiting friends. I love the sound. Same at a second place we share, right on the creek and no a/c, the locals head by early and it's a pleasing sound.
But that's not the same as jet skis wide open, boats flying, go-fasts, loud stereos and people shouting as they tube or whatever. Getting some of that during the day is also just life on the river (although luckliy, in both places, the jet skis and big speakers are absent).
A couple of nights ago my wife and I were on the screen porch eating supper (steamed clams and crabs from the river) and a neighbor across the cove let his outboard warm up longer than needed, but it wasn't a real nuisance. Just life on the river.
It's all about being considerate. We all enjoy a fast run or need to work on the motor at times; it's just courtesy as to when and where. Speakers blasting are never considerate; funny how they don't seem to catch on, or stick around, in my areas.
