Early-morning wake-up call courtesy of alarms at PS 64

A few years ago, residents who live by PS 64 at 600 E. Sixth St. near Avenue B were treated to a morning wake-up call courtesy of alarms from the school.

That was January 2014. As we're hearing, the morning alarms returned several months ago. One resident said this occurs between 6 a.m. and 7 a.m. "The alarm sounds and all the emergency strobe lights go on in the school, lasts for about a minute," the resident said. "This happens every every school year until there's enough complaints about it for them to get it fixed."

One resident recorded a video the other morning... you can see the strobes... the alarm doesn't come through as loudly as if you're right next door, but you get the idea...

    Noise pollution is a form of toxic waste, like methane it is odorless and colorless and because of that Our Leaders ignore it.

    Wake up, get out of bed! Run a comb across your head. Go downstairs and grab a cup, look out, you're running late! Grab your backpack and you hat, take the Citibike without a flat.

    This noise has been driving me crazy! I had no idea where it was coming from, figured it was a neighbor with an especially loud alarm clock. I'll stop cursing him.
