• Neighbors in Palm Beach Country Estates in Florida are upset about the noise levels they're enduring from I-95 and the Florida Turnpike, which run side by side through the area, WPTV reported.
Resident Greta Foriere, who lives two houses from the turnpike, said it's like being tortured 24 hours a day: "You can't go outside."
She and other neighbors are lobbying for a sound wall to muffle the noise, which she has recorded as reaching 146 decibels.
Neighbor Gary Johnson said he wouldn't have bought his house if he'd known about the noise level.
Fun fact: The highways have been in place for 60 years. [WPTV, 6/5/2024]
