Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Most suburbs have noise ordinances for max decibels, if you can record it a few times and include the db at the time.

I think even skimming under the noise limit won’t remove the annoyance of these things. And why is it even necessary to blow grass clippings off the sidewalk? If it’s really that bad it didn’t take much more effort to just sweep them back on the grass.

I wish there was I could do that. But what am I supposed to do? Stand on the corner of a street with my phone out and a DB meter in hand?

There are apps to let your phone do both or more reasonable would be to set up a security camera to record your backyard or something innocuous, use it to file a report and if nothing happens from the police report take it to the city council to show they aren't enforcing city ordinances. I've seen a few people take noise complaints to council to get it enforced.
