Explanation: This amendment to the Noise Control By-law provides a more comprehensive <br /> regulation of unnecessary, excessive, loud and unusual noises from buildings, premises, vehicles <br /> and boats in the Town. Such noises that are plainly audible at a distance of 150 feet from the <br /> point of origin would constitute a violation of the By-law. Violators would be subject to a fine of <br /> $100 for each violation.
