Ocean City trying to turn down the volume

Ocean City wants boardwalk businesses to take it down a notch.

The music, that is.

The Town Council holds a final vote tonight on a proposal that would restrict noises and sounds from eminating more than 30 feet from the source. This includes playing music, instruments, sounds systems, karaoke - whatever your noise of choice. 

Officials say the proposal actually comes at the behest of some boardwalk businesses that have complained they are being disturbed by noise from their neighbors.

The ordinance would affect music played on the beach, boardwalk or streets. Generally, it's about 30 feet from the boardwalk storefronts to where the beach begins.
