A. It shall be unlawful for any person in a public space to use or operate a radio, stereo, tape player, compact disk player, musical instrument, or device that produces or reproduces musical sound in a manner, including, but not limited to, an amplifier, such that the musical sound is plainly audible to any person at a distance of 25 feet in any direction from the source of the musical sound without a permit issued pursuant to title 4, chapter 13 of this Code.

B. PLAINLY AUDIBLE: Any sound that can be detected by a person using his or her unaided hearing faculties. As an example, if the sound source under investigation is a portable or personal sound amplification or reproduction device, the enforcement officer need not determine the title of a song, specific words, or the artist performing such song. The detection of the rhythmic bass component of the music is sufficient to constitute a plainly audible sound. (Ord. 15, Series 2001; amd. Ord. 28, Series 2021)
