(A) Excessive and unnecessary noise endangers the physical and emotional health and welfare of the people, interferes with legitimate business and recreational activity, depresses property values, offends the senses, creates public nuisances, and in other respects reduces the quality of life.
(B) A substantial body of science and technology exists by which excessive sound may be measured and substantially abated. Because excessive and unnecessary noise may jeopardize human health or welfare or substantially degrade the quality of life, it is the purpose of this chapter to prevent, prohibit and provide for the regulation and abatement of excessive and unnecessary noise which may injure the physical and emotional health or welfare of the town's citizens or degrade the quality of life.
