D-Line Decibel Levels Infuriate Brooklyn Residents

The roar of the elevated "D" line in Brooklyn has some people covering their ears. They say new tracks have turned the D-line into the loud line. Louis Gellman said the new tracks installed above his tire shop at 26th Avenue and 86th Street in Bensonhurst have created a new noise level -- even for an el -- that's through the roof. "And I'm gonna lose my hearing because of it. I can't even talk to my customers. I have to walk inside there to talk to them; because we can no longer talk outside," Gellman said. Gellman has been at the same spot 30 years. And he said the noise has never been like this. He's complained to the Transit Authority. They said they had stopped lubricating the tracks because drivers complained about the grease damaging their paint job below. And in a statement, Metropolitan Transportation Authority transit told CBS 2 HD: "In response to the noise complaints, track supervision inspected the site on Dec. 21, 2009, and extra track lubricators were installed and adjustments were made for additional lubrication. Subsequent inspections have found that these corrective measures have greatly reduced the noise level. We expect further noise reductions as the new track wears in," spokesperson Deirdre K. Parker. CBS 2 HD got its hands on a sound level meter. It records noise decibel levels. The noise level at Gellman's spot fluctuated between 88.1 and 90.9, peaking once at 92.8. Federal guidelines say regular exposure to levels above 85 can be harmful. As a ...

A Guide To Buying A Washing Machine For Your Home

Before you buy, make a list of your 'must-have' features - large-capacity drum, hand-wash programme, and so on - before you get bamboozled by the choice. The current trend is for washing machines to have large load capacities, high spin speeds and top energy ratings to make the washing process more energy efficient. To help you, here's our guide to some of the most important features:

RATINGS

AAA or A+AA (for energy efficiency, washing and spin drying performance) rated machines may cost more, but are more economical to run and leave your washing drier.

DRUM/LOAD SIZE

6kg machines are very popular and some even have drums that will hold from 7kg-10kg loads. Clever design means many models with larger drums can still fit into a standard space. Don't forget, with any size of machine, it's more economical to wash a full load than do lots of small washes.

SPIN SPEED

Faster spin speeds reduce drying times and keep fabric creasing to a minimum. An rpm of 1200 is perfectly acceptable.

FUZZY LOGIC/AUTO SENSING

A facility whereby sensors adjust the water intake, wash and rinse times, and so on, to ensure optimum performance with minimum energy and water use. A good feature if you have a water meter, or you want to wash economically.

CONTROL PANELS

Digital LED displays are usually straightforward to read and use. A 'time left to run' display is useful and worth having. Delay timers mean you can set the machine to start and finish when it suits you.

NOISE LEVELS

Manufacturers quote the noise level in decibels. Those rated in the 40s are considered particularly quiet. Check the decibel level if your washing machine is to be used in an open-plan room.

WASHER-DRYER

If you only want a dryer for occasional use, a combined machine is a good option. Drawbacks are that you can't wash and dry at the same time, so may end up with a backlog. Usually drying needs to be done in smaller amounts, but some can dry up to a 5kg load.

Top Must-Have Programmes

Nicola Hill, category manager at Whirlpool, suggests her top five 'must-have' programmes for most eventualities.

1. Delicate cycle: for fragile underwear and fine fabrics.

2. Woolmark-endorsed programme: to be able to confidently wash woollens without shrinkage.

3. Antibacterial programme: for bedding and blankets.

4. Quick wash: for lightly soiled clothes or for speed.

5. Easy-iron option: to reduce creasing

Three to Look Out For

Today's latest machines will often offer several useful cycles on top of the standard ones we are used to, although the terms different manufacturers use to describe them may vary slightly. For example:

Hand Wash

For clothes that are labelled 'hand wash only' - not the same as the delicates or woollens programmes.

Freshen Up

A recent introduction to some machines. It basically rinses and spins clothes that may just need a spruce up rather than a complete wash.

Stains Guide

Siemens' latest models have a built-in guide to the right programmes to use for specific stain removals

Raw Data iPhone Application

A demonstration of my iPhone application, "Raw Data." Available on the iTunes App Store: itunes.apple.com Raw Data is a simple application that displays some basic information from a few of the device's sensors. Included sensors are accelerometer, magnetometer (if available), and microphone (audio level, if available). Note, though, that this application is only for fun and it is not a scientific instrument.
