Noise. Police arrived to a neighborhood after receiving a noise complaint, and the reporting officer noted that, even at a distance of 150-175 feet, he could hear the sound of dance and club music coming from a home's open window. He could also see rotating shining lights.
According to the report, it took the officer several moments to get the resident's attention. The resident, a 53-year-old Ormond Beach man, told him that he turns the music off at 10 p.m. and that he uses it to make social media videos and livestreams. He argued that there were other loud sounds in the area, including motorcycle noises.
However, the officer informed him that the noise levels violated a city ordinance. The neighbor who complained to police said she would pursue a code enforcement violation.
