Beware blasting music from cars in Troy: police begin crackdown

TROY -- Troy Police are warning residents that they will be issuing tickets beginning this weekend to those who play loud music from their vehicles and violate noise ordinances.

Police will be utilizing sound meter technology, issuing tickets and towing vehicles in violations of the ordinance; police will also be cracking down on noise-enhanced mufflers on motorcycles.

""As the better weather is upon us the problem of loud music emanating from vehicles can affect the quality of life in our neighborhoods," said Troy Police spokesperson Sgt. Terry Buchanan. "We take this issue seriously, as we know our residents do, and are committed to help maintaining peace and quiet."
