My neighbors heard it in Mallory, I didn't, thank Goodness.

Since that area is Lady Lake, I do believe they have a different noise ordinance than Sumter does.

The Hobby Room is a business so if there is no noise ordinance the police can't do anything about overly loud music at late hours which is bad news for anyone living close to them in the Villages. That said, the only thing that can be done is to see if the land is zoned for business and if any special license and or insurance is needed. If so, this can put them out of business. Looking at their web site their costs for parties are pretty low so my guess is they don't have a lot of overhead.

I wonder if the Developer will get involved since this is a Big negative for people living close in the Villages. People living outside the Villages will have to go to the County and complain. Either way if there are no restrictions, restrictions can be put in place, but it might take a while to do this.

Well Seattle won’t make any mad by telling them they are not allowed to have fun or have parties. I suggest to keep all windows shut, I seriously don’t think a party could be that bad unless the party was at least a block away! Man you must of bought near a young peoples area. Hope it gets better for you! You should of looked for a house in the older areas.

Currently, more than 71,000 households make up The Villages.
You should have heard how quiet the place was prior to the building. I use to camp there when I was younger and much of it was pristine wilderness.

It's not Lady Lake. The Sumter line is East of there. The big apartments are also in Sumter Co, but get there water from Lady Lake.

It is a nuisance and actionable. People are entitled to peaceful enjoyment of their residence. Get lawyers involved if you want quiet.

I suggest everyone get a decibel app to record the noise level to be used as evidence.

It would be beneficial if comments had citations to the law.

Property law gives a land owner the right to the full use, and enjoyment of his property, without any substantial interference from others, under reasonable circumstances.. If a defendant hosts an unreasonably loud party which disturbs the defendants sleep, the defendant has acted negligently and created a nuisance. The plaintiff’s comforts were violated by excessively loud noise due to the lack of the defendant to use proper care to prevent this from happening.

^ THIS ^ is 100% correct.
Sound can be considered a "public nuisance" any time it intrudes on other people unreasonably. The City, The Villages, Property owner, etc can be held legally responsible should they not make attempts to identify, alter, remedy it, and/or enforce existing law/rules which not doing so, lets one entity run amuck, at the damage of others.

This applies to excessively barking dogs all the way up to a reoccurring party at a business, that seems to have disturbed possibly hundreds of people more than once, and during what may be 'off / quiet' hours.

One could seek an injunction & or apply pressure in other ways.
Media, signed resident petitions to city authorities, filing code violations, business license violations/revocation, fire code violations, etc...ie: several ways to skin a cat, if the application of, fits.

The sheer number of people that were affected by these "parties", would hold considerable weight if applied correctly.
If you were bothered by this, speak up, let them know this is not cool and we as a community will take action if it continues, I assure you they dont want that!
...heres a place to start

Evidence needs to be obtained. The more the better. No point in complaining if unwilling to take action.

Call the Orlando news station and newspapers. Costs nothing and should get swift response. They love these stories. The town council will enjoy being inundated by reporters on tv as to why no action taken. Television gold for them.

Yes. Someone up-thread listed the website. The actual address is 8711 NE 107th Blvd., according to Google maps. On one page of the website, the address is listed as 871 and another page has the correct address as 8711.

I've been a big Sinatra fan since I was a kid. All thanks to Mom. Also love Louis Prima and Keeley Smith.

Why has this not been brought to the Governor’s attention. He just passed car noise law. Light up the phones! Call Webster too.

Beginning July 1, drivers can receive a fine of up to $114 for blasting music in their cars.

The new law allows officers to ticket those playing music audible from a minimum 25-foot distance.

For reference, the average car is about 15 feet long, making it within the statute for an officer to ticket the driver in front of them if their music is audible.

These regulations become even stricter within close proximity of churches, schools and hospitals.

To many, this law produces positive change for the comfort, safety and well-being of Floridians.

In 1966 I had just come home for a break from Vietnam , some of the neighborhood mob guys took me along to see Sinatra in Vegas . I was introduced to him later at a large party by one of the guys, he told Frank, Charlie is back from Vietnam and heading back again . He shook my hand and I told him we had the same birthday December 12, so we took a picture and he signed it, Frank and Charlie the birthday boys . I got good use out of that picture, I would pull out my wallet in some bar or airport while talking to some woman and kind of accidentally let her see it and they would say OMG you know Frank and I’d say ,well he calls me sometimes lol

Please tell me it’s quiet down at the Villages. We have a neighbor here in Mass. that has Sub Woofers in his car and in his house. There is no way to get away from the bass. It’s not the music or the rap, it’s the bass. I don’t care if you’re stone deaf, the bass comes through like a fricken earthquake. Aaagh!
