Hi chaitra,

It is not annoying me presently. Earlier we stayed near a temple. Nearby temple there was a hall for marriage and other functions. If there is any devotional function they are playing the loud speakers in night and were much disturbing.

Your discussion reminds me in the olden days of native place, where there is a political party meeting the loud speakers are running with party songs. It actually disturbing much on students they can’t concentrate their studies well because of its loud voice. Law is there and for playing loud speakers, people need permission from nearby police station. There is some restrictions on time too. But the Law is meant for violating.

Hi Chaitra
I too agree that it is such a big nuissance. When I was a small girl, we used to live in the quarters. And so many functions, especially marriages happens every alternate week and the people belongs to poorer sections, simply put on songs on a loud speaker with full volume for 2 days. When we are having our exams, anybody is sick in our family will feel like stopping that function.

Well, the loud speaker nuisance is there in almost all the Indian cities. It is even more acute due to people's thought that "We get loud to show how affluent we are, or to show we are so so happy." I have seen many such DJ s who argue when asked to reduce the volume. The law is ther, but it is rarely implemented.

That loud music has been an issue in my country as many people claim it is irritating.They came up with a law to prevent the nuisance and most people,me included were happy about it.

If they have police permission, there is nothing much you can do about it. So, just bear it. However, there are local government laws that prohibit noise after midnight. If the noise continues after that, the police can be called in the stop the ruckus. In my country, with its various religions, street noise is often heard on such occasions. As far as the government is concerned, it helps tourism!

Hi Chaitra!
I simply dislike the sound of Loud speakers blarring out loud music or surmons. If anybody wants to listen to lour music or surmons, they should listen to the same without using Loud speakers, what it is the fun in irritating and making others feel uncomfortable. I just cannot bear the sound of Loud speakers or drum beats (going loudly). Sometimes it so happen that in are our are functions go on till midnight and Loud speaker keep running and running and one cannot get a good night's sleep. Some people are so callous and indifferent that they don't bother about others.
An excellent post!

Hello Chaitra

Yes, I do agree that most of the time its irritating to listen such a loud volume,..the people who are playing, think.. they are entertaining others, but its otherway, they are actually disturbing the society..That they should mind the volume and set it that level which is sufficient for the gathering to thier premises..

Rules ? Yes there are rules for that but you know they are meant for breaking only..Helpless.

There are certain times that streets in Cebu are surrounded by a lot of sound systems. This is specially when the city is celbrating the Sinulog Festival, which is a street dancing competition, etc. So aside of loud speakers playing, there are also live bands accompanying the dancers. This is not prohibited at that times, as those are days to celebrate.

But in some places here, I think you have to apply for permits, to install loud speaker system along the streets.

Even in fiesta celebrations, street discos should be made only possible if allowed by the city administration.

I remember when I was in Manila, while studying in one of the universities there, there is a place known as Raon Street, which is the most popular place there, where electronics items all being sold in almost all the stores there.

Loud speakers are everywhere. You can't understand the sounds they are playing. Almost every store have their own speakers on the sidewalk. That is the most irritating place in Manila that I can say, for people who don't like or do not understand the heart and soul of electronics and communications engineering.

it's a very dislike.
