A Norwalk resident e-mailed the regarding neighborhood noise problem:
I realize the economy has been bad for the last couple of years, so when more and more neighbors started having night time parties around here on a regular basis…we assumed that was why.
Well, it seems to be a weekly thing now. So much cheaper to turn your home into a nightclub. Booze, under-aged drinkers, cars parked everywhere and live bands! If it’s not a Mariache Band then it’s a live some kind of band and when they are done, they start the DJ. By then everyone is drunk as a skunk and they crank it up a little louder about every 15 minutes. Eventually the band starts singing and playing again.
This constant ‘boomp-boomp-boomp’ pounding my windows and eventually my head goes on from as early as 5pm to 2 or 3 am. Call the Norwalk Sheriff and 8 out of 10 times, they will say, it may take awhile because there’s other emergencies going on. If they do show up to have them turn down the noise, it’s back up within an hour.
If we can only have a limited number of yard sales a year- how much more annoying is it for everyone to listen to these parties going on from Fri Sat and Sun every weekend without regard to neighbors, even those living 2 blocks away, if they are disturbing their peace, or if their children are sleeping, or if someone is sick, has to work or want to get up for church Sunday!
We need a system that everyone knows about. Only so many parties, control how loud it gets, no under aged drinking, and if the police comes and asks you to turn it down- keep it down. It’s a residential neighborhood!!! Not zoned for a night club every flipping weekend. Doesn’t anyone care about their own neighbors anymore-that we are forced to call the police on them to just get some peace & respect? Something MUST be done SOON because some neighbors aren’t going to be so patient any more.
