Grinnell Mayor Gordon Canfield has been fielding complaints about the noise of Grinnell's noon-time whistle. "There are people who are sleeping during that time because they work a night shift and children, babies are trying to take naps and so forth and it wakes 'em up," Canfield says, "and it's just not the best thing to be using an emergency-sound siren for the noon whistle."
