Most of us would agree that very loud music blaring out from someones house is a nuisence and very anti-social, But would most people want to see a legal maximum volume output for home entertainment systems? If there is a legal limit already then the limit is clearly not low enough.

I don't think that would be workable. Some people live in detached houses a long way from any neighbours, and can play music at 130 decibels without offending anyone except their own eardrums.

 

There is, I think, a fixed guideline above which noise counts as a nuisance, but it applies to the level of noise when it reaches you, not the level as it's emitted from your annoying neighbour.

I ran pro sound systems.

I had a problem with an idiot neighbour playing music while silly o'clock in the morning so I took some kit home. They played while 4am; I started at 8 with around 3KW RMS and rather large loudspeakers with nice, responsive bass units.

The police understood but asked me to turn it off anyway (when they stopped laughing).

i wish they could set limits for repeat offenders

 

my neighbours when they party go all night long ( usually stop lunchtime the next day, or the day after if there really going for it ) they have it so loud my house shakes and it can be heard all the way down the road

 

if the police/ environmental health copuld set an upper limit for numptys i would be a happy, non sleep deprived woman
