Six businesses closed due to noise
Santiago – Police reported yesterday that they closed six establishments for noise pollution and obstructing public roads during an operation across different sectors, seizing 44 loudspeakers.
After explaining that the operation was carried out in coordination with the Alcohol Control team of the Ministry of the Interior and the Northern Region Police, he noted that it responded to citizen complaints about high noise levels and the improper occupation of public spaces.
Police said the six closed establishments had high levels of noise pollution and lacked the required documentation to operate.
Authorities said these operations will continue jointly to ensure citizens’ peace of mind, promote compliance with the rules, and preserve free transit in public spaces.
The whole national territory needs such operation. The loudspeakers of the size of a house are spread through the country and cause terrible noise everywhere. The local angelitos vacanos just love the noise. It should be stopped.
No a lot of the locals don’t love it at all! There should be a law after 10PM low volume only!
There is allready a law. It forbids noise polution which continius more than 15 minutes 24/7. For example, there is a special fiscal in Puerto Plata from Medio Ambiento. He stopped my neighbour singing karaoke.
