An example of nuisance:
Agnes and Ogden live at the end of a quiet residential street. Their neighbor's son, Ralph, recently graduated from a local trade school with a certificate in auto-body repair. One day, Ralph starts a side business repairing cars in his parent's backyard. The noise interferes with the daily life of the neighbors. Agnes and Ogden now shout to be heard. The windows vibrate continually. Even the dog has developed an anxiety disorder. Ralph's work creates a nuisance for the neighborhood.
