>PROVIDENCE − The Providence City Plan Commission has approved a five-story apartment building on College Hill with a storefront on Brook Street on the condition that management or security be on the premises at all times.
>That condition, as well as devices that will monitor the sound level and number of cellphones on the roof, on balconies and in common areas of the would-be building at 116Waterman St., came in response to complaints from the neighborhood association, Ward 2 Councilwoman Helen Anthony and residents that college students will menace the neighborhood with loud parties.

Man, I wouldn’t mind sound level monitors on all buildings. Mostly for passing vehicles, however.

I would not mind something like this system in Paris

The Daily Mail certainly frames the devices in a very specific way, but they also monitor how many cell phones are in a given area.
They're becoming very prevalent in AirBnBs.

Ugh yeah.
Maybe I'm getting old but man it's annoying. I used to have a loud stereo system in my first car when I was a teenager, but I'd only really crank it up on the highway.
Now the other day I was at BJ's gas filling up and some dude was blasting music at the gas pump. Like, why? Can you literally not go 5 minutes without everyone in a 300' radius being able to hear your music?
And this wasn't even a kid, it was a grown-ass man in a late-model pickup (with a flatbed trailer).
