PLB Tower Air Conditioners 80+ decibels

Park La Brea Tower air conditioner run at ~80+ decibels. The humming noise reflects off the wall and increases ambient noise levels in ajoining apartments by ~20 decibels -- that is FOUR TIMES AS LOUD as normal. That is like having a diesel truck parked outside your window.

Most units do not have air conditioners -- we just open our windows for a cool breeze. But we can’t due to the droning air conditioners. Let's make PLB a peaceful place to live.

• Demand that PLB forbid the use of Tower air conditioners.
• Demand that PLB remove all Tower air conditioners.
