Stop the honking (beeping)

I was reminded around 1am this morning of the need to address the serious beeping problem (mainly by taxis) in this city. If you've ever stayed the night at my place or stayed at a hotel in the city you'll notice a myriad of noises but one of my top 5 hates is the taxi beeping his horn (and not just during the day).

Maybe we could introduce something similar to this in the Sydney CBD - what do you think?

Or maybe I should start a petition like this one? http://www.stopthehonking.com/

As you know I live within spitting distance to a Pub. Though I have lived here for 3 years now, the noise has only recently begun to annoy me (maybe I'm getting old).

I think there should just be stupidity, discourtesy and noise pollution fines. Issued on the spot by grumpy old men who would relish the role =)

I agree. Even though I live in a business district there still seems to be annoying horn blasts at every hour!
The worst was when I worked shift work. You would just drift off to sleep at 3:30pm, when horns and school kids would wake you right back up again.

I can imagine how annoying that would be. Very! I imagine. :(
