Whenever film crews come into town they don't seem to have any problem getting people to stop making noise.
The leaf blowers, the motorcyclists, the heavy machines operators, the construction workers, the screeching tire enthusiasts, the screaming kids - weirdly, the whole community obligingly goes around on tippy toes for the duration of the 'shoot'.
This seems to me the solution to not being able to build walls in any kind of quiet bliss because of the constant clamour and ear-splitting cacophony of the mad world around us - that is, merely bring along a sign to the job site that states unabashedly...
'Be quiet, there's a movie being filmed here ! '
