Any law enforcement officer or person who hears a sound that is plainly audible as defined in this chapter shall be entitled to measure the sound according to the following standards:
(A) The primary means of detection shall be by means of the officer’s or person’s auditory senses, so long as the officer’s or person’s hearing is not enhanced by any mechanical device, such as a microphone or hearing aid;
(B) The officer or person must have a direct line of sight and hearing to the source that is producing the sound so that the officer or person can readily identify the offending person and the distance involved; and
(C) The officer or person need not determine the particular words or phrases being produced or the name of any song or artist producing the sound. The detection or a rhythmic bass reverberating type sound is sufficient to constitute plainly audible sound.
