Noise at locations such as Jannus Landing, an open-air venue in downtown St. Petersburg, is now measured using sound level meters. The City Council wants to switch to a plainly audible standard.

ST. PETERSBURG — Faced with growing complaints about boisterous patrons, the blare of music concerts and thumping nightclubs, the City Council is considering revamping its noise ordinance.
