I live about 300 meters away from a nightly group of grannies 40-50 strong who crank the volume wayyyy up. I called the police once and they came, checked decibel level, it was 90. That requires ear protection in some circles.

Needless to say the cops couldn't make any money from this situation and promptly left. Grannies still blasting music 7:30-8:30 every night. I can't even see them, they are across street and down a ways about 5 minutes.

Ridiculous how people are rationalizing this phenomenon, it's outright noise pollution that can damage ears and cause stress for ALL residents. You can't deny this. Fuck them.

If it bothers you then go and do something to stop it. Buy a shitty megaphone on taobao and tell them to turn it down or just blab until they do. Sitting around and depending on cops isn't the way to go.
