The noise is ridiculous here.

People around here drive to Indiana (not far) and buy illegal fireworks, and drag them back here. We've had booms every night for at least two weeks, often until 2 or 3 in the morning. The last two days have been beyond terrible. Incredibly LOUD, obnoxious booms, usually with no beautiful display, just the booms. Police are racing around, trying to stop these, but if they do not see who lit the fireworks, and if no one tells who did it, they cannot arrest anyone...it's stupid.
Nerves are frazzled all over town. People are upset as their animals are upset. All of this racket just isn't fun. I'm all for a fireworks display by the city, which we had, but enough is enough. They will no doubt go to at least 3-4AM.
If you live in the US, do you have to put up with this nonsense?

I don't know that they are bad people, but they are very inconsiderate, and extremely loud!

We can't figure that out, either. An excuse to be rowdy and make a lot of noise?

It's 11:03 PM here, and it's just as loud now as it's been all week. If you need some noise, come on over!

I barely heard it starting around 9:15 pm but I feel promptly asleep and never heard any of it.

Someone told me that put up firework is legal for the American civilians as it is their right to do so. I asked if there would be a fire hazard when you released the firework near the park. The person told me that it is as safe as the organisations' firework display.

Buying firewoks is illegal here. Maybe some buy them online but you rarely hear any apart from public displays. It's good really that they are banned.

My next door neighbor set off a gzillion fireworks between 9-11. It must have cost him hundreds of dollars. The big ones shook the house.
