Quiet nights?
I was just surfing the City of Bloomington website looking for anything of interest that I might want to know, when I discovered that the noise ordinance says:
Any noise of continuous or intermittent nature which persists for a period of fifteen minutes and can be heard by any person outside the immediate premises from the location of the emitter and is caused by the using, operating or permitting to be played, use or operation of any radio, television, tape or record player, amplifier, musical instrument, or other machine or devise used for the production, reproduction or emission of sound, or emission of sound or any prolonged sounds by people, or by any animal or bird so as to disturb the public peace and comfort of the neighboring inhabitants.
So the crickets are okay but BIRDS are not.
I mean – are they paying attention to what they write. This is seriously vague and open to interpretation. I debate calling in a complaint the next time there is some creepy little screech owl or bird of another sort lingering near my window at night.
