BEACH MUSIC

5:45 p.m., 2200 block of Ben Franklin Drive

Noise complaint: A caller advised law enforcement of excessively loud music in the area of South Lido Beach. The complainant, who lives in a condominium facing the Gulf of Mexico, met an officer holding a decibel meter and stated music coming from the beach on the Intracoastal side was reading above 90 decibels. He also cited the city’s noise ordinance that amplified sound cannot exceed 75 decibels within the city limits.

The complainant lives in a sixthfloor condo approximately 500 to 600 yards away from the source of the noise. Officers walked to the beach area and observed more than 100 people not causing any disturbances. There were several tents set up and more than 20 boats docked. Most of the boats were also playing music. It was impossible to determine any specific noise disturbing the complainant, and no action was taken.
