I was breaking the law




No more tips, endless playing of Saturdays, no more eggs, no more favorite egg guy. We were breaking the law. They like things quiet in Dana Point. They told the Farmer's Market Manager no music.

NOISE STANDARDS

55 dB(A)

In the event the alleged offensive noise consists entirely of impact noise, simple tone noise, speech, music, or any combination thereof, each of the above noise levels shall be reduced by five (5) dB(A).
        (b)    It is unlawful for any person at any location within the City to create any noise, or to allow the creation of any noise on property owned, leased, occupied, or otherwise controlled by such person, when the foregoing causes the noise level, when measured on any residential property, to exceed:
        (1)    The noise standard for a cumulative period of more than thirty (30) minutes in any hour; or

        (c)    In the event the ambient noise level exceeds any of the first four (4) noise limit categories above, the cumulative period applicable to said category shall be increased to reflect said ambient noise level. In the event the ambient noise level exceeds the fifth noise limit category, the maximum allowable noise level under said category shall be increased to reflect the maximum ambient noise level.
