While the random beeps and messages were always annoying, the noise pollution has become more frequent and more loud, in particular with the addition of the clipper card machines: they feel like torture, they are set at a volume far too high. I wear earplugs all the time now on public transport and still the sounds are too loud with earplugs. How about adopting some best practices from cities that do it better?

1)Shut down trollys, go back to gas-powered buses, 2)Shut up and deal with it
3) MOVE!!!

These bus beeps have not been proven effective in a 2005 study and add significantly to city noise.

I am in my bedroom,I am in my garden, I am in my bathroom I AM NOT WAITING FOR A BUSS! I do not need to be warned about an approaching bus. The beeping is too loud.Turn down the noise.

We are plagued by beeping, sometimes from 2 buses at once. Buses now additionally beep as they come down the street as well as when the doors open. Compounding this is an obnoxious recorded message about location AFTER doors open so we can all hear it. Surely it would be better given BEFORE the doors open?

I contacted David Chiu who is the supervisor of my district. He never responded personally but instead passed it on to others as if it were beneath him. I've sent requests and complaints to our 'beloved' mayor and to his appointee, Nathaniel Ford, the head of MUNI. No answer from Mr. Ford.
Don't we pay their salaries? I am willing to do everything I can to get these sonsab***hes to the table to discuss a more humane warning system. I'm glad you're here.

There has been no public consultation about this - despite the thousands of homes affected.
Muni needs to be accountable to the tax-payers who subsidize the service.
Show us the evidence - the assertion that this incremental and invasive noise "may help prevent such accidents" does not constitute the fact-based debate this issue warrants.

The beeping, which seems to have recently resumed, is piercing! It disrupts my concentration and strains conversation at dinner. It has become my top complaint about living in my current location and makes me reconsider the livability of San Francisco

It happens outside my window 24/7. Please stop this on Muni trolley buses which are, ironically, otherwise silent. Also please stop the recorded announcements that are invasive when the doors are open. In this crowded city please consider residents as well as bus users.

I have family that lives there in Mission Delores area and the noise you can here with the window or front door open in my aunt's 9th floor apartment is considerable.

I would legislate noise pollution ordinances and acceptable noise levels for public and private transportation. There needs to be a mechanism of enforcement and testing.

citizens are forced to put up with an almost
continuous attack on their peace and quite while our policy makers turn a deaf ear to the problem and do nothing. I am particularly outraged by the fact that there is no effective mechanism for reporting noise pollution from air craft and that the FAA has been given total authority regarding aviation noise pollution issues. The EPA office of noise abatement needs to be reestablished.

Yeah, it's always been noisy, but never like this. I have lived in the same area for 10 years. This terror is new.

President Regan did a disservice to this Country when he defunded ONAC at the Federal Level. After that, United States drowned in a pool of acoustic ignorance and abuse of power from obscure groups, OSHA and Local Transportation Government. Their sense of respect for Americans is gone. Therefore, how low can we go? Please, think before you vote!

I know that people who are "pro noise" seek out people driving this campaign and try as much as possible to acoustically attack them. This is an outright example of rogues, criminals, aligning themselves with a good group (here, MUNI), piggy-backing, to do more harm than good. Make it stop, please!

Please, please, cannot these decibels be lowered, if not eliminated for good!

My complaints to the local Police have returned no results to deter this unwanted noise. In fact I was told by the Chief that he and his officers would not seek out offenders even after I gave plate numbers and locations of the owners together with detailed pictures of the illegal race systems including the manufactures statements of race use only. The Police acknowledge the crime but do nothing.
