I'm still here/"alive" so far but i may not be much longer if everyone still keeps refusing to stop this ringing sound that goes all day and night every day and night. (I would have been dead last week as i was so trapped i started fasting food and water but i quit after 2 days because of false hopes (4 days without water and ill die.) As it is this problem has tolled on my health/ability/strength/fitness alot and been destroying me. While i am still here here is a post on keeping warm sparked by the ringingsound problem. I will be fasting next week if they refuse to stop the ringing sound (and it is a very small if because all evidences are they are purposely all refusing to stop it.)
I have had a major problem with a ringing sound coming through my plumbing pipes which goes all day and night every day and night and is impossible to block out because it penetrates. It turns out now that it might be the neighbours heat pump, though i am not certain yet. In any case there is a problem with a few neighbours heat pumps here often making "quiet" loud noise. So the purpose of this post is to demonstrate how once again everyone refuses to address root causes or to find the best solution but instead just picks the easiest one for themselves without any concideration of effects on others around. (This is similar to many other examples like water fluoridation.) So here is a list of many possible ways one can keep/be/get not so cold in a cold home/house/flat.
Ways to keep warm when cold house/flat:
- Longjohns.
- (Clean) (woolen) clothes/bedlcothes layers, scarf, hat, gloves.
- Exercise/work/rubbing (circulation, etc). (Though sometimes slow movement can make cold and we are warmer keeping still.)
- Foods with high calories/joules energy.
- Hot drink/meal/bath.
- Insulation.
- Carpet.
- Iodide.
- Double glazing.
- Central heating. Hot water tank.
- Sunshine. Room on sunny side.
- (Water/gas/solar) heater or fan or oven or dry cleaner. Hot water tank.
- Candles.
- (Kent) fire/woodburner/stove.
- Hot water bottle.
- Fluoride seems to make us more (sensitive to) cold?
- Keep busy.
- Love, not being alone.
- Toughening / getting used to the cold, not getting too "soft" / used to the warmth.
- Not sleeping on ground. (Sleep upstairs?)
- Race/ethnicity and (older) age and fitness also play a part. (Some races have tumo/homeostasis.)
- Don't cut all head hair off.
- Close windows, stop drafts under doors etc. Stay in one room. Shelter from wind and rain if/when outdoors.
- Dvs or heat pump.
- Don't live in a valley that doesn't get normal amount of sunlight in winter. Living in a flat between other flats can be cold if no heat transferring between them (eg firewall).
- Not too big room or high roof.
- Be up during day not night.
(- Bright foods?)
- Having a cold bath can make you feel abit warmer after wards, but it is not easy getting into a cold bath.
- Shifting to another different climate country after living most of you life in warmer/colder is also harder thand for natives.
- "2 are better than 1", 2 can keep each other warm while one alone can't (from bible).
- Make an igloo.
Notes:
* Longjohns: problem is here in NZ we can't anymore get white normal-woolen longjohns (except rare old ones in second hand shops), but only stupid & expensive dyed merino/Icebreaker or synthetic/poly or opossum fur. My mother told me you can get normal old longnjohns in UK. Personally i think it is a conspiracy done on purpose, though they claim it is because "people don't like itchy" normal wool against skin.
* Unfortunately it is alot harder to get woolen clothes in NZ since Rogernomics and free trade changes. There is so much artificial/synthetic/blend clothes being pushed.
* The neighbour here who has this heat pump going so much has a flat with Dutch-style polished/varnishe bare wooden floors only covered with a few mats.
* Lack of iodide is said to contribute to feeling the cold alot worse.
* They have double glazing and central heating in the UK but not here in NZ, despite that NZs climate/weather does jump alot between hot and cold during the year and even during weeks and during days.
* Unfortunately some local goverments here have been trying to ban open fires in urban areas because of smoke pollution.
* Heat pumps are very inconsiderate of attached or nearby neighbours. They may have a "quiet" humming but the noise is still pretty loud especially at nights.
This regime is often misusing "science" and/or technology as an easy answer to problems instead of addressing the root causes. They don't care about the effects on other people. (Sometimes they actually mix a good cover reason with a hidden/secret bad elite-self-interests reason.) People can't just do as they like without considering other people nearby/around. We all have responsibility. We are effected by others actions. The reason there are supposed to be laws/rules is because people can't all just do what they like because our actions effect others. I have rights not to suffer Hell all day every day, not just other people have rights/excuses to do any and all the things they like without regard of us.
My point here is this: The neighbours have numerous options for staying warm other than just using a heat pump all the time. Whereas I have no way to block the ringing sound out (it is impossible to block out except by making noise). They can't just have the heat pump on all the time causing me hell all day and night every day and night (just because they like having bare wooden floors with no carept except mats, etc). (Note their heat pup was on when i went outside at 5 am (they were not up) and seems like it was on all night.)
Btw, in this globalist free trade modern world business often relocate to warmer latitudes. Historically there are also "lucky latitudes": most of the ancient high cultures/civilisations arose in the tropic of cancer latitude band (also called the 10 40 belt). Though it is also claimed that races from northern latitudes are "superior". Studies of wetas showed that wetas in higher heights grew larger and lived longer, while wetas in lower heights grew smaller and lived shorter lives. (See similar in bible where Egyptian pharaoh asked how old Jacob was. Sodom was low down.) Longevity studies found the main spots of longevity are in high altitude areas like Andes, Caucasus, Pamirs? Climate before the flood is supposed to have been temperate (compare "Saturnian" "golden age/land", sunny Meropis, compare Atlantis 2 crops a year, Hyperborea beyond the north wind). Athletic/mesomorphic body type is considered better than linear/asthenic/slender/ectomorphic (eg Nilotic) or "fat"/portly/endomorphic (eg Alpine).
Incidentally, it is said that people are more/less depressed on overcast/sunny days and in winter/summer.

Additional futher note on heat pumps noise problems sent by a friend:
Hi Sean,
That is great spotting of the heat pump. It
is quite a common problem throughout NZ and I never thought of it but
you did some good work figuring it out. There are council rules about
noise from heat pumps. They have to have a low sound at the boundary or
they have to be slienced. Often heat pumps run constantly, I had one in
my previous place and it ran all day and night, all the time. The fans
would whirl up and down at random times, so it makes perfect sense it is
the heat pump. It also has pipes that transfer the hot and cold liquid
to the inside fan. These often vibrate, which isn't a problem if one is
in a stand-alone house, but with flats, the vibrations will vibrate
through the timber framing and walls. The pipes should be on rubber
mounts and separate from the wall and the outside fan unit should have a
wall to deflect sound away from your flat. Here is an extract from a
heat pump trouble guide:
"Heat Pumps as Noise Sources
A heat pump has several main components; with regards to external environmental noise the key noise sources associated with the external unit of an open air heat pump are the fans.
Secondary components include the compressor, evaporator, condenser, coils and reversing valve. On the end of the external unit a liquid refrigerant is pumped through coils. The fan pulls the outside air over these coils; the liquid in the coils absorbs the heat energy from the air and starts to expand the vapour. The expanding vapour is run through the compressor which increases in pressure and hence increases the temperature of the gas – the vapour then flows to the indoor coils, the refrigerant condenses back into a liquid as it cools and flows outside to perform the cycle again to ‘pick up’ more heat, meanwhile the heat is released into the dwelling via the internal unit.

Fan [blade] noise is generally the dominant [and audible] noise source. Noise from the internal
unit is seldom an issue outside the dwelling; however air distribution by the fan inside can produce audible noise, especially at higher air flow settings when increased air flow is being forced through the grille. Outdoors, noise annoyance often occurs because the unit produces noise which is received at levels over and above the background sound levels. This means
that audibility of the heat pump sound is often more important than the absolute level of noise present.
Heat pumps are generally used for heating in cooler months and in some parts of the country cooling in the summer months. Space heating occurs mostly at night when occupants are
home in the evening, which coincides with times when background sound levels decrease due to a general reduction in outdoor activities."
It
is possible to get a sound level reading from a certified person to
confirm that the heat pump is producing more than the allowed level of
noise. Then you can get council to ask the neighbour to either repair,
replace or remove the heat pump. It is expensive to get the sound
readings done ~1500 min cost and they are a bit unreliable due to back
ground noise interfering. One option, could be to pay for the neighbours
to have the installers come back and fit silencers and rubber mounts
throughout.
Have a look at this example of where a council prevented the neighbour from using the heat pump because it was to noisy:
I searched forums and one persons response to the noisy heat pump was:
"The
problem you have is that although most councils will have a very basic
bylaw in place which specifies the db rating that may be emitted beyond
your property boundary after a certain time in the evening. But because
an outdoor heat exchanger can make a very deep low sound, it can
penetrate walls and insulation much more than a higher tone such as
music. This makes the decibel rating harder to use as an assessment
tool.
There are also common sense allowances for excessive noise - like if you live next to a soccer field, you expect to hear cheering on a Saturday morning. But if a new brass band forms and starts practicing right over your back fence every day, you have the ability to file a complaint.
Christchurch is an interesting one - they have raised the allowable noise levels in the city center to allow for night clubs and bars to operate, but outside the CBD in suburbia, the limit is
Section 326 of the resource management act defines excessive noise as 'any noise that is under human control and interferes with the peace, comfort and convenience of any person'. Without any set times, but a reasonable expectation of activity is allowed - such as short loud bursts of noise for construction etc.
Auckland doesn't appear to specify a decibel rating - though I saw a noise control officer was outside the whitehouse measuring the decibel level last time I visited.
Anyhow this is a summary of Christchurch's city plan for residential areas from http://cityplan.ccc.govt.nz/
Nighttime 10pm - 7am
"Steady sound level with stepped variations of level" uses the L eq (1 hour) rating
Daytime 50dBA
Night time 41dBA
Also you might want to read this http://www.acoustics.org.nz/
It has a good point about the benefits of inverter type heat pumps- they are less noisy.
So to summarize
1) Approach them and get it looked at under warranty
2) File a noise complaint
You may be able to rely on the resource management act if your council bylaws dont help. remembering the RMA is more a common sense/disturbing the peace based limit rather than a decibel rating."
So
hope this helps a little, I would phone up Hutt City Council and ask
what options they have. Keeping you in prayer and so hoping you find a
good solution to this Sean, lots of christian brotherly love, from Matt
