If the residents are protesting and the plant is within regulation, the regulations allow too much noise.
We've had people complaining from headaches caused by a cell tower.. which was never switched on.
So I would not take people protests as a consistent sign that regulations must be changed. These protests sometimes just mean that something HAS changed.
