Summer dawns and so does the festa season. Many go haywire: some because of the festa excitement, others because of the unacceptable level of noise and loud music generated by the various discos and open-air evening activities organised by band clubs.

It is understandable for the festa to be celebrated in its various forms, but not with loud music all night long! Such intolerable, ear-splitting music activities have been commonplace in Hamrun for a long number of years and the residents are sick and tired of them.

There are various EU regulations and directives on the maximum decibels allowed for loud music in open-air places. Are these being upheld by the authorities? Why don't band clubs use some common sense and organise loud music evening activities in closed areas with proper sound control?
