Some neighbors said they aren&#8217;t upset about the roller coaster itself, which hasn&#8217;t been opened yet, but about the screaming people on board.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They told us that they had designed it so that the screams would happen in those tubes,&#8221; Angel said. &#8220;My comment was, I&#8217;ve never seen a roller coaster where you can tell people you can scream here, but don&#8217;t scream here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Other neighbors said they couldn&#8217;t really hear anything and are not concerned about the noise. Instead, they said seeing the new ride made them want to ride the roller coaster.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Universal said it added more than 900 feet of sound walls, pea gravel to help quiet the track, and designed the coaster cars to rotate so screams won&#8217;t always face the neighborhood.\u00a0  <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cover the damn thing, and we will live in peace, and we will live in peace with them,&#8221; Angel said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Toluca Lake Homeowners Association posted online that Universal told residents that testing would resume on the roller coaster on Monday, July 27, from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. for the next two weeks. They also provided a hotline and email for residents to send their concerns.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We appreciate hearing from the community, and that feedback is an important part of the process,&#8221; Universal wrote in a statement. &#8220;The coast is currently in technical rehearsals. As part of that process, we are actively reviewing sound levels.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n          More from CBS News\n        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Toluca Lake neighbors continued to share their complaints about Universal Studios&#8217; new and noisy Fast and Furious ride.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":416218,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-416217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=416217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416217\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/416218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=416217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=416217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=416217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
