Other: There is construction going on behind me, on the corner of Miller Drive and S. Henderson. Last week and again today there are awful vibrations coming from that site. These vibrations literally make me sick. This is a deep low vibration and it comes from a piece of equipment that looks like a steam roller. The driver goes back and forth and back and forth over the property pretty much constantly. I'm wondering how much longer this is going to be going on. There is occasionally a break from it but it's mostly steady all day. I actually have to leave my house when it starts up (early in the morning) and stay away all day. I hope someone can advise me how much longer this is going to be going on.

This is related to private construction activity. From the looks of it, the construction that is occurring is for base stone and foundations. As long as the construction activity is in line with this portion of city code, it is allowed: (b)Construction operations for which building permits have been issued or construction operations for which a permit is not required shall be exempt from the noise control ordinance under the following conditions and with the following exceptions:(1)Such operations that occur after six a.m. and before ten p.m., except on Sundays and holidays, as defined in Section 14.09.020. However, in recognition of the work necessary to prepare and close a site each day, motor vehicles transporting heavy construction equipment or construction materials to and from construction sites at those times shall be exempt from the time restrictions set forth above.(2)Because of the loud and unusual sounds, and the ground vibrations associated with pile drivers, steam shovels, pneumatic hammers, and steam or diesel gasoline hoists, the operation of this equipment shall be exempt but only when it occurs between the hours of seven a.m. and eight p.m. or when allowed by special permit.(3)In order to be exempt, all equipment used in such operations shall be operated with the manufacturer's mufflers and noise reducing equipment in use and in proper operating condition; The entire City code on noise can be found here: https://library.municode.com/in/bloomington/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT14PESA_CH14.09NOCO
