Turn down the music

Two Brooklyn synagogues and their worshipers sued Borough President Marty Markowitz yesterday over his summer concerts and plans for a Coney Island amphitheater to host it.
The suit argues that the concert series violates a city law prohibiting amplified sound within 500 feet of religious institutions when services are taking place. It seeks a court order to block future concerts.
Sea Breeze Jewish Center and Temple Beth Abraham are across the street from the existing bandshell at Asser Levy Park, and both say they host services daily.

A while ago, I wrote about the dangers of loud music and how I would love to get musicians to lower the volume of music at weddings. Last week a friend of mine told me she was at a wedding and didn't get a chance to speak to any of her relatives because the music drowned out her words. I spoke to a doctor about asking him to conduct a lecture on the dangers of loud sounds. He told me that he walks out of weddings because he can't take the noise. Every other week there is a letter of complaint in the Hamodia about loud music at weddings. When are we finally going to do something about it? Please help me in my efforts to turn down the music level. Any ideas would be most appreciated.
