The city of Leavenworth is actively working to cite persons who violate the city's noise ordinance by playing their car stereos too loudly or operating vehicles with loud mufflers.
"The community has spoken pretty loudly about car stereos and loud mufflers," Leavenworth Police Chief Pat Kitchens said. "We will be periodically conducting specific operations that are designed to identify and cite people who play music too loud from their car."
He said the Leavenworth Police Department is also targeting loud mufflers that are defective or a person who intentionally revs the engine to make a loud noise.
The Municipal Code of Ordinances prohibits individuals from playing stereos that are plainly audible from 50-feet away.
The same ordinance covers loud mufflers that "produce sound in such a manner as to disturb the peace, quiet and comfort of neighborhood inhabitants."
"The best recommendation to avoid a citation is to turn your radios down and keep your windows up if you like music a little louder," Kitchens said.
