    Cross St & Hanover St

    Excessive use of sirens by Boston police at cross Street and Hanover intersection. A simple low volume blip would be enough meanwhile there’s a symphony of extravagant, aggressive, overpowering, obnoxious, useless, siren noise. This happens during the day and during the night there are sensitive officers who keep it to a dull roar meanwhile, there are others who seem to feel they must push every single siren button and crank it to the highest volume possible causing hearing loss for the rest of us. observing this situation there is no difference in the number of pedestrians or car traffic nor any difference in the speed or urgency of the vehicles, purely a factor of poor choices by the officers and personnel. appreciate informing the entire police department or anybody who drives vehicles through this area and chooses to destroy the cities fabric from an auditory standpoint. The volume of the sirens is dangerous, too loud, losing my hearing because of it.
