Madrid residents sue F1 track over 103-decibel noise

Test runs at the new Madring circuit reached about 103 decibels, far above the 55-decibel limit for residential areas. Neighbours say the noise makes working from home impossible, while campaigners are angry that over 700 trees were cut down for the 3.3-mile track. City leaders insist September's Spanish Grand Prix will boost the economy, adding that actual race cars will be quieter.
