Noise, noise, and more noise!

THE EDITOR, Sir

Noise, noise, noise, and more noise! Regardless of the time of the year, persons who choose to play music should have respect for their neighbours and other villagers. They should play music at a level that will not disturb others. Jesus said: "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself." (Matthew 22: 39)

Music players, are you really showing that you love your neighbours when you play music at a level that disturbs them, robbing them of sleep and the need for peace? Is it right for you to play loud music that disturbs sick and elderly persons? (Leviticus 19: 32)

Jesus also said: "And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise." (Luke 6:31)

Music players, would you be pleased if your neighbours were to play music at a level that disturbs your sleep and need for quietness? Would you want your neighbours to deliberately do anything that irritates you? Playing loud music is senseless and very selfish! I highly commend those persons who display sensibleness and play music at a level that does not annoy others. Noise is loud, unpleasant sound. It is high time that music players play music at a reasonable, pleasant level that will not upset others.
