Are Emergency Vehicles Just Too Loud?

Besides the motorcycles, mopeds, and loud muffled cars, one very irritating noise are the emergency vehicles. It seems they have boosted their sirens to extremely loud levels. On the street I have to cover my ears as the level of noise from these vehicles is outrages. I understand that they have to get sound out because most people have their windows rolled up, A/C on, and radios up loud, but there has to be a better way. Here in the Hobron Corridor we can hear the vehicles before they even cross the bridge from Ala Moana Park area.  
Can't something be done about this? 

Quieter O'ahu Response:
Thank you for your email.

You are not alone.  This is a hot topic for the Waikiki Neighborhood Board and you may want to attend their monthly meetings and share your own thoughts with like-minded people in attendance.  

Too, check out our Noise Blog for past postings we have made about this subject.  I think you will find them informational and useful.  

For your info, here is the schedule for the Waikiki Neighborhood Board meetings:
-Waikiki Neighborhood Board No. 9
-Meets 2d Tuesday of each month
-Meets at Waikiki Community Center, 310 Paoakalani Avenue at 7:00pm

We have added you to our email distribution list.

Mahalo,
