I feel your pain. Literally. Well, not for some months, but there was a period of 14 months where sleep after about 7:30 was not an option, for jackhammering and rock-crushing right up the street. Ugh. Nothing like waking up feeling like you're the pavement they're hammering!
Ugh! Here they've done a day or two then gone away for a couple weeks then come back again. It sounds so much louder this time. (The first time, they left a big ol' steel plate over a hole in a traffic lane of the cross street (which is US-1 north), so I've been hearing that boom at irregular intervals at all hours. Last time they dug holes in the sidewalk and in the street.)
I can almost understand drivers passing through not being aware enough of their surroundings to notice it's a residential area (literally house shaking car stereos in the wee hours), and I do realize that construction workers' days start bloody early, but is it really kosher to make that much noise where people sleep, before even eight o'clock, when it's not an actual emergency?
Sympathies!
