I'm sure there's a solution to the squeaking. You could put plastic tubing around them (or even a piece of hose). There's always duct tape. To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Friday, May 25, 2012 9:54 AM Subject: Re: Squeeking Doors, Swings, etc.

Not machinery, but I say that my dog "squeaks" when he whines. It's the same high pitched, repetitive sound that drives me insane. Just yesterday we had people over and we kept him behind a gate to keep him away from our dinner, and he sat there and squeaked and squeaked. In didn't seem to bother our guests or my hubs, but I could not concentrate on what we were talking about bc I was getting more and more angry at his annoying sounds.

Would I jump the fence and try to fix it myself? Hmmm... if they claim that they already tried to oil it and it didn't work, it would seem that WD40 may not be enough to fix the problem anyway, so not sure that I'd risk it. If I knew they were just postponing even trying to fix it, then I may seriously consider it. My triggers are pretty much all near the home, the one place I expect peace and quiet, so I can't imagine putting up with it very long.

I'm wondering if I should try to climb the fence in the dark with my can of WD-40 but I'm afraid I'll get hurt or arrested.

You might also try silicone spray which is often used in sticking locks or on sliding windows that stick.

I agree.. as desperate as we may all be, breaking laws (trespassing, etc) is NOT the answer... and will only cause more trouble in the end. There are other ways to go about this.

My 2 cents: don't jump the fence. You could end up with a trespassing charge along with attempted vandalism.

My suggestion: tell someone in charge of the pre-school you have a medical condition and it's imperative that the noise be fixed because the stress is negatively affecting your health. The " potential-lawsuit-light-bulb " might go off in their heads without your even saying the L word. If they maintain that they've tried to fix it, the offer to fix it for them. An offer will sweeten the conversation.

I feel your pain, too, but wouldn't want something bad to happen to you. I hope you find a reasonable and effective solution.

Ok ok. I didn't actually mean you should jump the fence, just that I can't believe anyone would fault you for wanting to do so. And to relieve your pain!!!!!!

The squeaky swing was finally silenced this morning! I spoke to the director yesterday and volunteered my husand's services. He stopped by on his way to work this morning, got out his ladder and an assortment of lubricants, and silenced the offending swing! The kids and teachers were very happy, and so am I!
