ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL—FEBRUARY 25, 2019 2 <br /> Don Wahlberg, 1451 Arden Place, stated he dropped off noise exposure information to the <br /> Council several weeks ago. He noted he lives 150 to 200 feet from one of the City's storm sirens. <br /> He reported on Wednesday, February 6 he experienced pain in his ears when he was in his yard. <br /> He explained pain in the ears occurs at 120 decibels. He indicated he could stay inside each <br /> month when the test occurs but stated there was a four-year-old girl that lived across the street <br /> from the siren who may not be inside each month. He commented children should not be exposed <br /> to 120 decibels or more as this could cause hearing loss or damage. He encouraged the City <br /> Council to reconsider holding siren testing monthly as he believed this was excessive. He <br /> suggested the testing occur quarterly and at three-fourths power. <br /> Mayor Grant thanked Mr. Walberg for this information. He explained the sirens were owned <br /> and operated by the County. He requested a response at the next Council meeting and also a <br /> follow-up letter to the resident. <br /> 3.
