&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;This party season, you could save yourself some trouble by keeping the music down. For, the cops intend to be party poopers at raucous gatherings. The force is procuring noise meters to book people found violating the permissible sound limit.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
If Delhi Police sources are to be believed, cops would not stop at that in their drive for a less noisy city. The hand-held meters would also be used to inspect loud horns in cars through random traffic checks. Police sources said a global tender for buying at least 15 such devices has been floated. These would be given to assistant commissioners of police.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Police are procuring noise meters for booking those violating the law on sound levels. The meters would be used for loudspeakers, public address systems and generator sets, besides checking vehicles using pressure horns. Police can book any person responsible for emitting sound louder than the permissible decibel limit of 55 dBA.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The meters, designed% to measure decibel levels in the 35-130 dBA range, come with a microphone that %measures even the slightest noise. An LED screen with date and time will record %the readings as proof of %violation.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The meters will also be used to check noise levels at pubs and discotheques if we receive complaints. Police will work in tandem with the pollution department inspectors and violators will be booked under appropriate sections of the pollution Act,&amp;quot; said an official.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The move is also significant in the wake of the upcoming wedding season - when celebrations in public places are often loud - and students&#039; exams scheduled in a few months. Police said most complaints about noise come from congested residential areas where sound reverberates and disturbs residents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The department has also asked officers to be particularly strict with people playing loudspeakers beyond the stipulated time in the name of religious or social functions.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The meters, police sources said, will also be used in random checks by traffic sleuths in different parts of the city. According to a Supreme Court guideline, use of loud horns, tapered silencers, loudspeakers and microphones are completely banned but many choose to ignore the law or are not aware of it.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Times View&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Checking decibel levels to ensure that people don&#039;t become a nuisance for others is a good idea, but only if it is enforced even-handedly. If loud parties can disturb neighbours, so can other things like blaring loudspeakers from places of worship. That too must be dealt with seriously. To shy away from acting against it on the grounds that this might hurt religious sentiments is a bogus argument. The principle of &#039;your right ends where my nose begins&#039; must apply, whether the rights in question are those of people celebrating a secular or a religious event.

&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;This party season, you could save yourself some trouble by keeping the music down. For, the cops intend to be party poopers at raucous gatherings. The force is procuring noise meters to book people found violating the permissible sound limit.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
If Delhi Police sources are to be believed, cops would not stop at that in their drive for a less noisy city. The hand-held meters would also be used to inspect loud horns in cars through random traffic checks. Police sources said a global tender for buying at least 15 such devices has been floated. These would be given to assistant commissioners of police.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Police are procuring noise meters for booking those violating the law on sound levels. The meters would be used for loudspeakers, public address systems and generator sets, besides checking vehicles using pressure horns. Police can book any person responsible for emitting sound louder than the permissible decibel limit of 55 dBA.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The meters, designed% to measure decibel levels in the 35-130 dBA range, come with a microphone that %measures even the slightest noise. An LED screen with date and time will record %the readings as proof of %violation.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The meters will also be used to check noise levels at pubs and discotheques if we receive complaints. Police will work in tandem with the pollution department inspectors and violators will be booked under appropriate sections of the pollution Act,&amp;quot; said an official.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The move is also significant in the wake of the upcoming wedding season - when celebrations in public places are often loud - and students&#039; exams scheduled in a few months. Police said most complaints about noise come from congested residential areas where sound reverberates and disturbs residents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The department has also asked officers to be particularly strict with people playing loudspeakers beyond the stipulated time in the name of religious or social functions.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The meters, police sources said, will also be used in random checks by traffic sleuths in different parts of the city. According to a Supreme Court guideline, use of loud horns, tapered silencers, loudspeakers and microphones are completely banned but many choose to ignore the law or are not aware of it.

If Delhi Police sources are to be believed, cops would not stop at that in their drive for a less noisy city.

The force is procuring noise meters to book people found violating the permissible sound limit.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;If Delhi Police sources are to be believed, cops would not stop at that in their drive for a less noisy city. The hand-held meters would also be used to inspect loud horns in cars through random traffic checks. Police sources said a global tender for buying at least 15 such devices has been floated. These would be given to assistant commissioners of police.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Police are procuring noise meters for booking those violating the law on sound levels. The meters would be used for loudspeakers, public address systems and generator sets, besides checking vehicles using pressure horns. Police can book any person responsible for emitting sound louder than the permissible decibel limit of 55 dBA.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The meters, designed% to measure decibel levels in the 35-130 dBA range, come with a microphone that %measures even the slightest noise. An LED screen with date and time will record %the readings as proof of %violation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;The meters will also be used to check noise levels at pubs and discotheques if we receive complaints. Police will work in tandem with the pollution department inspectors and violators will be booked under appropriate sections of the pollution Act,&amp;quot; said an official.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The move is also significant in the wake of the upcoming wedding season - when celebrations in public places are often loud - and students&#039; exams scheduled in a few months. Police said most complaints about noise come from congested residential areas where sound reverberates and disturbs residents.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The department has also asked officers to be particularly strict with people playing loudspeakers beyond the stipulated time in the name of religious or social functions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The meters, police sources said, will also be used in random checks by traffic sleuths in different parts of the city.

&lt;em&gt;NEW DELHI: &lt;/em&gt;This party season, you could save yourself some trouble by keeping the music down. For, the cops intend to be party poopers at raucous gatherings. The force is procuring noise meters to book people found violating the permissible sound limit.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
If Delhi Police sources are to be believed, cops would not stop at that in their drive for a less noisy city. The hand-held meters would also be used to inspect loud horns in cars through random traffic checks. Police sources said a global tender for buying at least 15 such devices has been floated. These would be given to assistant commissioners of police.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Police are procuring noise meters for booking those violating the law on sound levels. The meters would be used for loudspeakers, public address systems and generator sets, besides checking vehicles using pressure horns. Police can book any person responsible for emitting sound louder than the permissible decibel limit of 55 dBA.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The meters, designed% to measure decibel levels in the 35-130 dBA range, come with a microphone that %measures even the slightest noise. An LED screen with date and time will record %the readings as proof of %violation.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The meters will also be used to check noise levels at pubs and discotheques if we receive complaints. Police will work in tandem with the pollution department inspectors and violators will be booked under appropriate sections of the pollution Act,&amp;quot; said an official.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The move is also significant in the wake of the upcoming wedding season - when celebrations in public places are often loud - and students&#039; exams scheduled in a few months. Police said most complaints about noise come from congested residential areas where sound reverberates and disturbs residents.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The department has also asked officers to be particularly strict with people playing loudspeakers beyond the stipulated time in the name of religious or social functions.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The meters, police sources said, will also be used in random checks by traffic sleuths in different parts of the city. According to a Supreme Court guideline, use of loud horns, tapered silencers, loudspeakers and microphones are completely banned but many choose to ignore the law or are not aware of it.

&lt;em&gt;Times View&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Checking decibel levels to ensure that people don&#039;t become a nuisance for others is a good idea, but only if it is enforced even-handedly. If loud parties can disturb neighbours, so can other things like blaring loudspeakers from places of worship. That too must be dealt with seriously. To shy away from acting against it on the grounds that this might hurt religious sentiments is a bogus argument. The principle of &#039;your right ends where my nose begins&#039; must apply, whether the rights in question are those of people celebrating a secular or a religious event.

Police are procuring noise meters for booking those violating the law on sound levels.

Checking decibel levels to ensure that people don't become a nuisance for others is a good idea, but only if it is enforced even-handedly.
