Musicians louder than planes?

Published:

By Walter Davie Mar Vista

I note with interest your article concerning noise levels on the Promenade (SMDP, June 28, page 1). So it’s OK for “musical” groups to blast away at the public at 97 decibels, with 107 decibels after dark!?

But any aircraft departing Santa Monica Airport is subject to a severe fine for exceeding 95 decibels.

I find this highly incongruous.
