I'd like to add airboats to noise pollutants.  Although the Lake Kissimmee 
area was wild and wonderful those #$%_at_^#% airboats were zooming all over the 
place throughout the night.

Similarly (though in the day), our Peace (hah!) River trip was intermittently 
disturbed by some guy who was giving rides to all his girlfriends...one at a 
time.  And there was another fellow in an airboat also.

The noise is SOOOOO loud that they have to wear ear protectors, while the 
people they infringe their noise on (not to mention the wake and disturbing 
of wildlife) have to cover their ears.

grrrrrrr
