You are 100% correct. Enforcement is a tool but not necessarily our goal at Community Noise Lab.

We have both short-term and long-term measurements. And 3dB can be quite noticeable. Sound is on a logarithmic scale.

Hi, my name is Erica and I am the founder of Community Noise Lab at Brown University School of Pubic Health. We were not interviewed for this piece, are not associated with the Providence Noise Project, and are staunchly anti-quiet. Rather, we are pro-peace. Now, peace may involve quiet but it is not necessarily our end goal. If you have any questions about what we do, you can always reach out to me.

I didn't mean to assume that you didn't understand how sound and the decibels. I apologize for that. You made excellent points!
