There was a memorable complaint from this cranky dude in Canberra who whined about the noise coming from the Canberra Uni music fest... Which was held during the day....

I lived closer to the Uni than he did, and the wind was blowing in my direction and I still didn't hear a thing!

Trouble is these mood police that insist on bringing the vibe down have either forgotten what it is to be young or they are jealous....

Could be a number of different reasons why they have these silly noise restrictions, the excuse that the Darwin council gave for the restrictions on loud live music was that live loud music encouraged alcohol-fuelled violence in one of the streets in the Darwin central business district, the NT government had put in placed something called the "Banned Drinker's List"
a couple of years ago to try to deal with the NT's high rate of alcoholism (Darwin seems to be the highest), then the Banned Drinker's List got repealed about a year later.
