Fall 2007 Supplement–The Importance of Acoustics
Preface: The importance of this story is twofold. First, the dispute is based on acoustic annoyance which is one of the many issues that Erica and I deal with in our work (although this is an extreme). The second interesting aspect of this story is the fact that it took place less than 100 yards (meters) from our apartment building. Life in the big city!

A worker at a Buckhead construction site was shot and wounded late Tuesday morning by a resident of a neighboring condominium who, police said, was apparently upset about construction noise.
The 30-year-old suspect was taken into custody shortly after the 11:15 a.m. incident in the 2100 block of Peachtree Road, according to Atlanta police Sgt. Lisa Keyes.
Keyes said the victim, whose name and age were not immediately available, was taken to Grady Memorial Hospital in stable condition.
She said the suspect, whose name has also not been released, was cooperating with investigators. Keyes said the man would be charged in the shooting, but the specific charges had not been determined.
The shooting occurred near the intersection of Peachtree Road and Colonial Hills Drive, about two blocks north of Piedmont Hospital.
