I'd just like to added a noisy reefer is a good for an annoying neighbor problem . I used to park mine as close to the neighbors house as possible and run it all the time on cycle sentury throughout the week on different days needless to say him and I still don't get along very well..

What I do is put it on continuous for the night. I figure that way it's better to have it running all the time so it doesn't shut off and come on and distrurb others that way. At least if it's running all the time, most people get used to the noise kind of like a fan or A/C running in your room at home. I don't know if it works well for the others but it does for me.

I can sleep beside a silage blower as long as its continuous.

I put mine on continous at night as well but for other reasons. If it shuts off, I feel it and know something is wrong.

Try to sleep next to a USA Truck with optimized idle starting every twenty minutes, I'd rather hear my reefer.

I second that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! heck my old company truck had the opti idle on it and I couldn't even sleep behind it with my reefer running! Next time I was in the yard I told the shop foreman that it "was broke" and to just turn it off so I can idle! he had no problem as they don't want to fix or work on the opti-idles!

I used to be artillery and I started getting worried when I could sleep through fire missions in the middle of the night. Four 155mm howitzers going off less than 100 feet from me multiple times and I never heard a thing. Either I was REALLY tired or my hearing was finally going. These things can blow the windows out of a Hummer at 50 ft. when they go off.

Had one of these really nice guys in a idleair one night running that optidle. I think that the mob beating on his door at midnight may have change his mind on using his optidle in a idle free zone.
