I don't know our local laws except that music played out doors that is loud enough for the neighbors to hear inside has to be off by 10:00 pm. My wife is on the board of a facility used for events/weddings and this has been an issue for them before.
On the other hand, the city holds outdoor concerts that play after 10 that I can hear from 1/2 a mile away. I guess the law does not apply to the law makers.
There does not seem to be any law against leaf blowers on Sunday mornings or loud piped motorcycles which rattle the windows at 2 am.
One spring Sunday morning at precisely 7 am we were asleep, windows open and I heard a commercial wood chipper crank up. It was a tree service doing routine tree removal across the street. I called the police to ask what the ordinance was and they said after 7 am it was fine.
All of this is to say that there are serious double standards and inconcistencies in the laws and ordinances that seem to favor against people listening to music.
Regardless, it is my opinion that if what I am doing is bothering my neighbor I need to stop or do something different. I'm no saint, but in this current world where the 'self' is supreme I try to buck that trend when I can.
