New York City isn’t known for being quiet and peaceful. This is especially true for the uptown Manhattan neighborhood of Washington Heights-Inwood. According complaints logged by the 311 system, the city’s phone number for government information and non-emergency services, this heavily Dominican neighborhood is the noisiest ‘hood in the five boroughs. According to the New York Post:
…an astonishing 14,030 gripes about noise poured in July 1, 2005, to May 30, 2006, from residents in the Community Board 12 district, covering the blocks above 155th Street.
The reasons for the noise depend on who you ask. Some residents cite stereos, smoking, drinking, jumping, and crying while others cite airplane and helicopter noise.
