Is this right?

 Since 10.30 p.m. on November 27, some funny, quite creepy sounds could be heard in the lane next to our home. Somebody was dragging something, some vehicle was repeatedly moving up and down. Suddenly, the vehicle would go away somewhere, though quite nearby. Soon it would return.

Generally, I do not keep the door open, surely not in winters, beyond 10 p.m. As it is, the main gate is forever locked, that, too, from inside. So I did not worry about safety, or any other fear factor as such. Yet is it right to create such an eerie feel? So much so that the eternally-screaming-at-night gangs of, I suppose, drunken louts were not making any silly noise!

Well, I guessed quite soon that the road was getting tarred. Is this the right time for heavy vehicles zooming up and down a lane? Is this the time for the workers screaming unnecessarily, and loudly at that? The vehicles making the mechanical sounds of changing the screeching gears and brakes, of driving forwards and backwards? Of trap doors banging shut and open?

Even now huge noises ( I am consciously pluralising an uncountable noun!) of the heavy vehicles, the engine whirring, the huge roller thundering on over the scrunchy gravel,  the hustle and bustle of the workers, their screaming are very much on, and right next to our gate. Sure there was not any notice of this night time work. What kind of efficiency is this that does not allow citizens a quiet sleep? Is this the proper work ethic? Is this right? What do you think?
