Dear Jane, Thank you for writing to me regarding the
noise
emerging from repairs underway at my home.
Due to
the recent storm, Katrina, the roof was damaged and it started leaking. These repairs had to be done urgently, failing which we could end up with severe floor damage
due to
water leakage. I sincerely apologise for the
noise
pollution. I understand that with a six-month-old baby, you expect the neighbourhood to be much calmer. Rest assured, we would take the necessary actions to have a pleasant environment for both you and the baby.
Firstly
, we have restricted the repairs to be conducted between ten in the morning and four in the evening.
Secondly
, we have acquired machines that make less
noise
even though they are expensive.
Finally
, we have installed a wooden wall between the houses, which will act as a
noise
absorber. I understand your pain and I hope you will support us in these difficult times. Yours sincerely, Aravinthan
