          Whenmusic emitting from a vehicle can be heard at a distance of hundred feet orgreater, it is considered a violation of the city’s noise ordinance.  First time offenders receive a misdemeanor summons which carries afine greater than $100.00.   Second time offenders not only receive amisdemeanor summons, but also an order of a mandatory court appearance as well.
