Estimating sound levels

It is a mathematical certainty that 20 barking dogs, in such proximity of an MR-12 residential neighborhood, would interfere and conflict with the peaceful enjoyment of neighboring residential uses. Kirkville NY dog kennel on Moore Road will disrupt the natural flora of the neighborhood. Let us know if you’d like to help us keep Moore Road a peaceful neighborhood.

Some quick science; A dog can bark at over 100 dB. To put this in perspective, a jackhammer is around 90dB. There’s a mathematical formula that calculates the noise level from multiple sources. 20 dogs barking would accumulate at over 120 dB.

Consider this; A chainsaw is around 116 decibels. The proposed kennel will be only a few hundred feet away from residential homes. Imagine if the home you bought and enjoyed for years was suddenly inundated with a chainsaw running throughout the day and evening.

Every day.

Every evening.
