Broyles: Speak with those doing Sun City driveway concerts first

Posted

After reading the opinion of Mr. Spinka (“Resident not happy to hear driveway music,” Sun City Independent, Dec. 23, 2020), I’d call him a Scrooge, but that would be giving the Scrooge a worse image.

The musician(s) may not be aware that the sound is too loud. Instead of spouting off local noise ordinances or threatening to call the authorities, I didn’t see anything in your writing about speaking with the musician personally.

If you have a problem with it, don’t choose “hired guns” (i.e., code enforcement or sheriff) to get your point across. Step outside your door and meet the musician face-to-face, maybe with a peace offering (it is the season for something like that).

If you are too afraid to go face-to-face (maybe because of COVID), send them a card or letter with your thoughts about the music — and keep it civil.
