Is there a law against............??

[turn_in_poachers]

Running your power augers early in the morning, let's say...... 3 or 4am? Some can get pretty loud. Especially if Im fishing on a lake surrounded by houses, I wouldnt want somebody to complain. So, is there some kind of noise ordinance out there for this?

[Ray Esboldt]

I don't think there is, but since our state's lawmakers are back in session we should keep our voices down. I'm sure one of them would be happy to escalate this into a crisis that is robbing are children's future.

[jiggin pig]

my suggestion would be check your local ordinances. Each city can vary on that issue.

Ray - ROFL!

Sadly, you can almost believe it could happen!

[MuskieJunkie]

Don't quote me on this but I am pretty sure it is illegal to "make noise" before 9am in Eden Prairie, I would assume other suburbs have similar ordinances.

[anyfishwilldo]

Actually, it's 7am to 7pm in EP, but you can get a permit.

If someone will complain about leaf blowers, er, wait a minute, you wouldn't find "those" people on a frozen lake at 4 a.m.

Most towns have a 7 to 7 quiet hours. I think that it is designed more for the type of noise that construction vehicles make and not an auger that runs for a couple of minutes and then gets turned off. Have a good one and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

Best day of my life was moving out of the Metro. Back to GOD's country. Where you can run around your yard naked after a sauna, turn the radio up pretty much anytime you want and get this if your car is parked in YOUR driveway the neighbors aren't whining. God I love Northern Minnesota!!!!! Best of all when I have to drive to work 15 mile it doesn't take me an hour or two depending if it rained or snowed the night before.

It's winter. The houses should have the windows closed. I don't think it would be that much noise. If you are worried, maybe just turn the muffler towards the shore furthest from you and drill away.

[draggin bottom]

just another good reason to use a srikemaster electric sure is quiet Terry

[PerchPounder]

why would anyone have there windows closed with this beautiful weather were finally having? ive been waiting months for winter and now its finally here! i wouldnt thing that it would be a problem drilling at that time its not like your in there front yard? i have drilled holes at 1 am, and never thought twice about it? just my $.02

Isn't it the other way around? Unless Eden Prairies full of party animals

[Lucky12]

No, there is no such law
