Ever hear a strange noise and walk really far to see what it is?

Six blocks away and much louder but not there yet...

Over a MILE away someone is cutting up siding with a circular saw with a plywood blade installed backward! Holy cow that was loud! :D

out in the country? 1 mile would be too far for sound like that to travel audibly in the city. Sound must have been very irritating for you to be curious enough to walk a mile away :D

Hamilton at the ferry dock, over ten blocks up Church Street. Absolutely deafening up close. :eek:

That's the way to do it though. Plywood blade installed backward (I use a radial arm saw for it.) Perfect cuts every time. Fast, and no cracked siding.

When I was a kid there was this extremely loud explosion in the neighborhood. Several people including me went to check it out. We walked about 2 miles to where the smoke was. It was an explosion at a fireworks factory.

That area of Manhattan, walking is no big deal. What does this do for sea legs?

What is funnier is that OP knows the details ... plywood blade AND installed backwards. Did you show them the error in their ways?

No error in their ways there. But, having done this before, is it really that loud that you'd hear it a mile away? Seems that I've cut through a lot of things that were much louder.

Nope - saw the saw (hehe) and knew what they were doing. Surprised at the noise though.
