Currently, there are no laws on the books regulating the trucks from playing music while they are parked.

Well then by God create one! Because we all know that is a prioirity we haven't even begun to think about.

Those awful ice cream trucks. Next thing you know they will try to ban Kool Aid stands. Oh wait...

I am not sure why the already on the books noise level ordinances and nuisance ordinances cannot deal with this anyway. Probably really don’t need more, just enforce what’s already there. As noise ordinances generally only come into play during a period of the night time, they could probably use the current nuisance ordinance to deal with it without creating another one.

And I am for nuisance ordinances and noise level ordinances. My rights end where they infringe on someone else’s and vice versa. If we’re all in a fixed confined neighborhood space I don’t have a right to drive them nuts with noise and neither do they. I don’t have a right to drive them out of the neighborhood with deliberate or not noise and neither do they.

I personally don’t like ice cream trucks and their nnoise pollution.

I don’t know about where you live, but in my neighborhood in Anaheim,CA. we have a vendor who drives around in a VERY noisy diesel catering truck sell a variety of ice cream including soft serve. He plays the music VERY loud and plays it non stop when he is parked across the street from me. Now I applaud someone working to have the music turned off while stopped and regulating the volume.

I miss the days of the Good Humor Man that only rang a bell, and only when he was moving.

We lived in Los Angeles years ago when it was just beginning to be annexed to Mexico. In our very nice area, ice cream trucks started showing up at all hours of the night. And fruit trucks. It was horrible. Apparently people from Mexico had different ideas of when to sleep...or perhaps they just didn’t have jobs. But those of us who had 9 - 5’s really suffered from sleep loss.

And then my daughter complained about the noise. And then two nights later, her new car was stolen, found by police a few days later at the bottom of a hill off Mullholland Drive, a total wreck.....Who would do a thing like that?

Gee, I miss Southern California.
