It’s definitely Bowstring. I was just texting with
Brian - he’d like to
hear our observations this afternoon and is going to send out another
survey.
I’ll send it separately when I get it.
Thanks!

Malcolm and I talked to the Sound Engineer tonight. They will not be
setting up an experiment tomorrow, feeling as if they got enough data last
night for their purposes. I was confused by this idea, being that many of
us in the neighborhood didn’t hear anything last night. He explained to us
that with the data he got, which was under ideal atmospheric conditions for
not hearing anything, he will now be able to simulate worst case conditions
to better understand why we typically hear what we hear.
He also indicated that any of us who have not yet filled out last night
survey would still be really helping the process if we were to fill it out
now so please do that if you can. Here is the link:

If they can set up an experiment for tomorrow night even though there is
not another band, then there will be a new survey.
We will let you know what we hear.

So is there another survey for tonight? Or did I misunderstand?
I went ahead and did last last night's survey noting that the noise level
was acceptable and not heard at my location…happily surprised!

I think it’s good for us to remember that our
goal here is to not hear
it. Whether they are making structural changes or identifying the decibel
level at which we won’t hear it, either way it’s a win in my book. David,
the Sound Engineer, was explaining to me that both last night and Sunday
winds are blowing in the wrong direction or sound to be carried in our
direction. Their primary goal is to be able to educate the city about what
needs to be taken into consideration when Bowstring applies for a permit to
go above the decibel level designated in the ordinance. I’m not saying this
is an instant fix. We may still experience the need to raise the issue with
the city and/or Bowstring but I do think that the fact that they are paying
specific attention to this particular situation works in our favor.
Bowstring doesn’t want cops showing up any more than we want to be
calling them. If they are playing around with structural changes that keep
that from happening, I would imagine there would be incentive for them to
keep going with that approach, even after this monitoring weekend is over.
Fingers crossed.

I didn’t notice any music while inside on Nov. 14. Yay! If they’re
paying attention, then now they have some data on what is acceptable.
Hopefully this will continue.

I agree as well that they altered their setup
knowing they’d be
monitored.
Just had a good conversation with David, the acoustical engineer who
camped out in my backyard all night. I think it’s important to note in the
survey that tonight’s volume (or lack thereof) was unusual.
It is an iterative process - if the city sets a decibel level for the
permit and Bowstring changes their setup and gets loud again, we keep
complaining and force them to review the permit and its parameters.

They had a device set up in my yard this evening and I did hear
bowstring a few times. It wasn’t as loud as it normally is, but I did hear
it, inside my house. Hope that helps!

Seems to me, the study should be more randomized without the knowledge
of the party being monitored. Otherwise, it's useless data, in my opinion.
