City Hall officials are looking at a new noise ordinance that aims to make it quieter on Santa Monica streets.

Residents knowledgeable about the ordinance think it’s not enough. Business owners think it’s too restrictive. Others think it is the city itself that makes too much noise with its garbage trucks and buses.

This week, Q-Line wants to know, “Should the noise laws be more restrictive? Is it already too loud here?”

Call (310) 285-8106 with your response before Thursday at 5 p.m. We’ll print them in Friday’s paper. Please limit your comments to a minute or less. It might help to think first about the wording of your response. TAXES
