     Boom Boxes:  Boom boxes, car radios and other noise sources may not be played above determined maximum levels. (Code 80-65-4).  Between 9 p.m. and 8 a.m., these maximum levles are lower. (Code 80-64).

     Barking Dogs:  The Health Department (Code 78-13) sets limits.

     Door to Door Solicitation:  Door-to-door salespersons must register with the police and wear an identification badge. (Note: this does ot apply to a minor doing fundraising for a chool or non-profit organization.) Any resident who wishes to exclude solicitors may place a "solicitors prohibited" sign near the doorbell, and salepersons will know not to approach. (code 95-15: 2, 3, 4).
