Joke 'um Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Ah, cowboy shooters. 'The race track is too noisy. We're going to a shooting match for peace and quiet.' (paraphrased) Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 We built our home in 1987 on the south facing end of a ridge overlooking a creek valley about a half mile wide. We had just moved in and one night there was the terrible noise. It would last several minutes when subside somewhat. We first thought it was a tornado coming. It kept up until about midnight. After experiencing this once a week for a month, we realized it was a racetrack some 15 crow flies miles to the south east - nowhere near our valley. You could just about make out the announcer between heats. A few years later another track opened up just north of us much closer but we couldn't hear it at all.

Chili Ron Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Howdy I once went to a concert. As I walked away the sound faded as one would expect. Then another couple blocks, it got a lot louder. Then quiet again. Sound is funny stuff. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
