Group singles out Warren for noise

WARREN — Is a point being made about living here, or is it just more noise?

Warren joins the state of Alabama, city of Madison, Wisc., airport terminals and grocery stores as the latest target of a national organization called Noise Free America.

Noise Free America,   headquartered in Madison, Wisc., has awarded Warren the “Noisy Dozen” award for this month. It awards the distinction on a monthly basis.

Noise Free, which says on its Web site that it has chapters in Cleveland and Youngstown, also gave the Noisy Dozen award to Youngstown two times since 2002. Other communities singled out over the years include Pulaski, Va.; Savannah, Ga.; and Kokomo, Ind.

Noise Free, www.noisefree.org, states that it’s dedicated to fighting noise pollution, especially from boom cars, car alarms, leaf blowers, and motorcycles.
