In Wildwood, as a home or business owner, you have Article IV, Sections 13-101, et.seq. available.

Recently we met a couple for dinner at the restaurant in Sawgrass. The music from the Sawgrass "square" was too loud inside the restaurant. Had we not been meeting a couple there, we would have left. Now, aware of the code, I would have asked for the manager to explain why we were not going to honor the reservation (had it been ours and not the other couple's).

The attitude of some posts, "if it is too loud for you, leave" is disturbing to me. The squares are public spaces, surrounded by businesses. Do you really believe that there should be no enforceable limit to noise volume?

Noise abatement procedures are in place at hundreds of airports. Sonic booms were outlawed over 60 years ago in US airspace. Noise at too high a volume is a known medical problem.

If we don't like smoke, do we have to leave?
