Spotted a massive cutterhead dredge working the channel on my beach trip

I was down in Florida last week and saw this huge dredge just chewing through the sand off the coast, it was running day and night. It got me wondering how crews handle the constant vibration and noise on those long projects without going crazy. Has anyone here worked a job on a cutterhead in a busy tourist area like that?

Actually, that's a hopper dredge, not a cutterhead.

Check how they handle sediment instead.

Honestly, it's wild how we just get used to constant noise and shake, like living next to a train track. You stop hearing it after a while.
