There's supposed to be a 'law' here that says if you can hear a radio clearly at 50 ft then it's in violation of the noise ordinance. The problem is it's never enforced. And it's impossible to call the police if they're just driving up and down your street since they most likely won't be there when/if the cops do show up. The only time it works if it's at home during a party or something when it's a sustained noise. Last time I called the cops on the neighbors for the volume of the radio the dispatcher asked me to turn MY radio down so she could hear me. I explained that it wasn't MY radio, it was the neighbors. They dispatched a cop immediately and the cop was shouting at them from the moment he got out of his car but they couldn't hear him. Finally when he was within 8 feet of the homeowner they could finally hear him and only turned the music down at that time because they couldn't hear him talking!!
I wish they would enforce that, and I like the idea of confiscating the stereo! lol
