Please read from bottom up:
I have just gotten off the phone with our Mechanical engineers regarding the fan noise, we have redesigned the fan system in an effort to quiet down the hot air exhaust from the Parking Garage. The redesign is in the hands of the contractor for contractor identification and pricing. Once we have pricing we will go ahead with installation. We recognized right away that we had a noise problem and started working immediately to remedy the situation.

good morning all,
i hope you had a great holiday? i'm very excited about the new year and
wish you and your families great happiness!
business:
i received an e mail from the central offices and thought that you
may be interested in it.
i have receive many calls since arabella opened; concerning the
noise and crowded streets. if there is any information that you can
provide me, so that i may have an educated response to pass along to the
live calls i receive, i would be very grateful.
as of now, it is my understanding that the store is implementing a
public transportation reimbursement program to encourage our tm's at
arabella to utilized public transportation and car pool. which is a
fabulous solution/idea, but unfortunately only covers one aspect of the
complaints we are receiving.
any help or information you may have will be greatly appreciated.
thank you for your time!

Dear Sirs, I live right next door to the Magazine Street Whole Foods Market that opened a month ago in New Orleans. This store shows a blatant disregard for the residencial neighborhood which it has raped. I mean specifically of its peace and quiet. Right now it's ten o clock PM. I am sitting here listening to the loud fan in the parking garage that is under a metal hood, and which in the otherwise quiet of the night sounds like a huge idling truck outside my home...continually...constantly, non-stop. It is driving me totally crazy. I have called Tarak Zada the general manager of the store ten times over the last month and he has merely given me skullduggery and hot air. Nothing has been done to solve the problem. My wife the attorney is looking now into local statutes regarding noise pollution and the local neighborhood association headed by a criminal attorney will soon probably be filing some class action suit against you. Apparently you all enjoy this sort of thing and are used to raping neighborhoods of their peace and quiet. Nevermind that the neighborhood is historical and has third, fourth, and fifth generation families living in it, who once took for granted a quiet night wherein they could get some rest. But you all have completely destroyed the ambience here and you couldn't care less. Not one iota. All I have gotten from you all is lip service from the store team here. Yes, from the general contractor, to the general manager and store managers. Thank you ever so much for destroying my life. Sincerely - Kirk Bernhardt
