This reply may self-destruct, but look up Diwali.
I heard the noise complaint call over the police radio.

We told neighbors that's what it must be. From a distance, Musical, it's been hideous, *hideous*. So loud, disruptive, screaming children. And teh neighborhood dogs barking on and off every time the music starts back up. Just turn it down, for pity's sake. Thanks for the update :-)

Palo Alto evenings need *more* noise, not less. Thank you to whoever's whooping it up!!!

Friday evening parties. What time was the noise? Did it go on too late?

The music started again. A neighbor told me it started about 5pm today. It quieted down, then started up again. When it's quieter, you can hear lots of screaming and yelling coming from the same place.
According to my neighbor: someone called the police about it and was told that the partiers don't have a permit. So why is this allowed to occur? Apparently it's not as loud from the street but from the creek is blasting through our neighborhood.

Today's kids scream all the time, not shout, scream. Theater audiences don't just applaud anymore, they scream. Like on late night tv.
At a market the other day a couple of kids were screaming and I asked them to stop. Their mother said, it's a free country, they can scream if they want to.

Thanks, Observer. I've also noticed an increase in noise pollution. Much of it is of course, overall, related to density of population, but a fair amount of it in our day to day lives is due to an absolute lack of concern and/or lack of awareness of how much noise we make and how it impacts others. If you politely ask someone to change your behavior, it's liable to not be worth it, and even sometimes dangerous. And telling kids to stop their behavior, or asking their parents to stop it? Wow, watch out!
The loud, live amplified music I described went on for 6 hours. It was really problematic for a number of people. On a warm night, having to close up the house, it was still interruptive.
