If music be the food of love, play on;
Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken, and so die.
That strain again! it had a dying fall:
O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour!
William Shakespeare

5.16NOISE LEVELS
This sound ordinance is designed to protect rea
sonable urban sound levels rather than to preclude
noise. Fully enforceable sound ordinances must
typically address where the measurement is taken,
how background sound is calculated, and which
part of the spectrum is being measured.
