[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think requiring more sound proof building construction is a great idea, street music playing or no.

I say this as a white person who finds stuff like the cell phone outdoor music blasting annoying (though I would never complain in person because I grew up in DC and know better to move to a black neighborhood and then complain about go go music playing).

But haven’t you noticed that old, pre World War II construction buildings are usually way quieter than the new crap going out now? Absolutely it would be better for the new buildings to be built better, with better sound proofing. Not just to block out music but also traffic, siren, mechanical noise like AC vents, etc. [/quote]

Absolutely.

I lived in an early 50s brick box garden apartment.  We rarely heard neighbors.  Meanwhile my friend and neighbor bought a fancy, newly built condo and had a major blowout with her neighbors over her baby crying.  Increase building standards.  All the way.[/quote]
