Dear Billy T and Somerville/Medford News Weekly Speakup Line,

Honk Is Inconsiderate

A whole weekend of loud brass and shitty megaphones is incredibly irritating for anyone who lives nearby. It’s a ridiculous idea to have a super loud 3 day long musical event in a largely residential area.

It’s a weekend I hate every year, is it not enough that the City does midnight and 2 AM construction work with no notice in this area? Put this event in an open area instead of a multi story echo chamber that gives the residents a headache. Like a minimum put some dampeners in the brass instruments.

Traffic is also bad enough without the whole area closed for mediocre music.
