Loud music is no longer a nuisance; it is an epidemic

Aug 12, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

By our signatures hereunder, we are expressing our disgust at DJs, bars, music carts, vehicles and wedding houses from which very loud noise emanates and which has reached epidemic proportions.

DJs control several boom boxes and sophisticated amplification systems which send their noise well over 300 yards from source. Bars play boom boxes which disturb the immediate neighbourhood. Some motorcars have speaker boxes, which occupy the entire rear of the vehicles. Some motorcars and motorcycles have had their exhaust systems modified to announce their advent from half-a-mile away. Music carts traverse the roadways with loud and lewd lyrics.

This is the reality of NOISE EPIDEMIC in Enmore today. Residents are tortured until well after midnight. Students cannot study without interference, the elderly jump out of their sleep, babies are seriously affected, our houses vibrate: window-panes are dislodged from windows. The litany goes on. And, when spoken to, the polluters heap abuse on top of the disease they spread.

We protest from Enmore in this petition. We are confident that other communities are exposed to similar epidemic. We can no longer be silent.

There are many regulatory agencies which police NOISE EPIDEMIC. We are appealing to them through this forum to initiate appropriate action to stamp out this epidemic. We are appealing to Magistrates to “put away” some of these polluters. Society must not be held at ransom to these irresponsible persons.

We deserve to live in a community without being made deaf by those who may already be deaf, or who simply wish to break the law with impunity.

PLEASE, TAKE OUR PLEA SERIOUSLY.
Signed by 42 Enmore residents
