St. Rafka noise waiver

Explained bass travels farther than other frequencies and endorsed the idea of zero bass after 11 p.m. while letting the festival run to midnight.

A Hubbard Street resident two blocks away said her windows vibrated until 11 p.m. during last year's festival and asked for the music to stop at 11.

Asked the city to create a single standard — by day of week — for all similar events, from the Sears carnival to the Spree.

Called an 11 p.m. stop 'love thy neighbor' common courtesy, noting proximity differences from St. Mary's might justify different standards.
