    I live in the west loop and recently i have noticed a lot more noise going on in the evening and even in the middle of the night. We have a 7/11 in the building and i found out they have truck deliveries at anytime (or so it seems). Right now (Sunday 9pm) there is a truck delivering and it is loud (Refrigerated trucks have to stay on i guess..). The other night i actually was woken up at 2 am because the driver was being very loud with his pallets.

    Are deliveries allowed at any time?
    I thought noises were supposed to be kept at a minimum in the evening and at night.

    I already wrote to 7/11 but havent got any reply so far.

    Contact your alderman. I dont know if you are in Fioretti's ward, but he seems very attentive to residents' concerns. If 7-11 doesnt respond, try a resident petition.

    Move to the South Loop :)

    Getting with your alderman might be the best starting point though. Good luck!

    Good luck with all that.
    They could not give a lesser **** about noise and your representatives could care less unless it's close to an election or something that might benefit them financially. I'd just move.

    7/11 certainly doesnt give a ****. I will see what can be done with social media.

    What about those private companies that show up at 9 or 11pm and start blowing the snow off the sidewalk for a certain building? I had to go tell them to stop the other day at 11.30. They were using a f****** snow blower. Woke up my baby. They had the nerve to tell me to call the cops. I told them they were not allowed past 8pm..started filming them and they stopped. I cant believe the nerve of some companies. As long as they make their $$ they dont care about the other people who arent their customers. Sent that particular company (Premier Service.com) an email, they never replied.
