Pedestrian Crossing
Sent to Liverpool City Council less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 5220351.
This pedestrian crossing have recently been repaired (wc/13th Nov 23). Since the repair, the volume of the crossing signal have significantly increased and can now be heard over 100m away. Can you volume be adjusted?

In response to your email response and confirmation that this issue will be inspected within 5 working days, please can you confirm your results of the investigation.
Please note that we have notice no difference in the noise levels and we therefore refer to the guidance from the Department of transport Traffic Advisory Leaflet 4/91 - AUDIBLE AND TACTILE SIGNALS ATPELICAN CROSSINGS which states: - NOISE NUISANCE - Nearby residents sometimes object to the sound of audible signals, which can be disturbing especially during the quiet hours. Reducing the sound output from a standard bleeper unit by fitting a baffle plate can often provide an acceptable solution. Alternatively a time switch may be incorporated to cut off the sound altogether at night. In this case it would be useful to provide tactile signals in addition to the audible signals. The "Bleep and Sweep" unit is less likely to causenuisance because its sound level automatically reduces with the level of traffic noise. The unit can be modified to produce a standard bleeper sound for use at single Pelican crossings.
Based on the above guidance, we would be grateful if you could review and please look to reduce the sound decibels.
