Note
The present-tense form for he, she, it or a singular noun; with I, you, we and they the verb stays plain disturb. It takes an object (the noise disturbs residents), but it can also stand alone when the sense is emotional: a film that disturbs leaves its viewers uneasy. The same spelling would also be the plural of disturb, an obsolete noun meaning "disturbance."
