A quick note and warning. When you are playing music, keep in mind that there is a new noise ordnance, issued in 2017, that limits noise to no more than 50 feet past the property line, throughout the county. That includes playing music, singing, shouting, fighting or creating noise through loud or boisterous speech, audible off premises. Parents can be held accountable for violations. The same applies to the neighbors. The sheriff (252 426 5615) is responsible for enforcing the new ordinance and carries anything from a warning, $100 fine or 30 days in jail.
