Please feel free to call the Sumter Cty Sheriff Dept and encourage them to drive by. I live quite a ways away and have been listening to it loud and clear. Loved the yelling in the mic last night! I was told there is a noise ordinance that after 10pm this stuff is suppose to cease...however it just seems to get louder. I did make some calls last night. Definitely not feeling like giving them any of my business now.

The more complaints will hopefully quiet it down to a dull roar!

I think what you were hearing the last couple of nights is the Leesburg motorcycle gathering. Last year it was on 466A near Fruitland. Think it was only for the weekend.

DING DING you won the prize. Nobody stops what they do over there, it's private property and they do party hearty at that location until they drop. The field is full of bikes,campers and tents besides the music. Good post.

You know this thread is an excellent example for the expression īt depends on whose ox is being gored". One poster wrote it is advertised as an adult retirement community" My expectation then is quiet at sunset. My wife's expectations it that its kool to party til 1999. Having said that what bothered the most about this thread are the posters who dismissed the OP's comments out of hands as though the OP didn't matter. Let see what happens when some gores their ox??????????

From the lanai, I noted that the music stopped early, which doesn't sound right for a rock out motorcycle party, and Fruitland Park is several miles away.

kittygilchrist 04-28-2013 02:52 PM

Hey, maybe there were two sources of noise? btw it did not bother me....

The link says the events go until 2 AM. Some concerts only started at 10 PM. Dubbed as world's largest 3 day motorcycle and music event. It was off in the distance and the last couple of nights have been very clear and cool so the soumd travels a long way. Most likely it is over now as it says the 26th-28th.

The threesome "Oldies but Goodies" played at Bonifay last night[Saturday] from 6:00 until 8:30.[and they were great] Don't know how finishing at 8:30 could cause a complaint-but perhaps it was something else

skip0358 04-28-2013 03:22 PM

Maybe had the OP driven down there and found out IF it was coming from there instead of calling the sheriff and asking anybody else who was annoyed to call and complain it would have been different. Fot those who have been here for a while this isn't the first and I'm sure not the last loud music complaint. Eveytime a big deal is made petitions have been signed in the past, protests the whole 9 and what happened another nail was driven in Havana's coffin. Mallory had a complaint, Cody's etc. If it stops before curfew so be it. Chances are it wasn't Bonifay at all, especially when someone else was there and said it stopped at 8:30. That's not to late!

Sound traveling from Leesburg to the south side of TV...........some don't have a clue how far Leesburg really is.
If anything it maybe coming from the rodeo site on 466A about a mile east of the shell station, there are a lot of Bikefest attendees camping out at that site.........maybe.

KathieI 04-28-2013 04:06 PM

The reason I was guessing that it might be coming from somewhere else is, that I know that Bonifay is adamant about shutting down music at 8:30. So it had to be something else. Yes, the bikers were all over 466A last night when I was heading home around 11pm. But another thought is, Burkes BBQ is now having music and some of my neighbors have told me that they hear loud music coming from there at night. I don't know, cause I'm never home but that's why I was thinking it might be Burke's music that's bothering the OP... From Burke's to Morse, is exactly 1 mile and from Morse and 466A to my house is one mile, so my guess is its coming from there.

The biker events went until 2am but I think Leesburg cops had a tight grip on those guys cause they didn't show up at Legends the other night and we stayed open until 2am for them.

Soooo - does a Village Sales Agent have the responsiblity of mentioning to someone looking at a home near a cc that night time music could be an issue? If someone is new they may not have a clue what goes on at night so whose responsibility is it to advise them? Actually even if they had a clue they may not understand how sound travels through here sooooo??????

I think that since the music stops by 9:00, there is no great need to advise about "noise" other than to state that the clubs have entertainment going until that time. Now, if entertainment was scheduled until much later, a different story. It is probably more vital for a resale. For new homes, if the proximity to the country club and its entertaintment could be a problem, there are more lots available elsewhere.

I'll bet the person or persons waiting for the EMERGENCY vehicle are glad to hear them coming. PS. That's a Fire Truck I rode in for 42 years befpre retiring to The Villages.

Make sure you check because the outdoor entertainment thing has been stopped after a certain time like KathieI said so the noise may be coming from somewhere else? Not sure though. Remember I am just a Wannabe.

I don't believe Havana suffers because lack of music............
