Rehoboth Beach has a new noise ordinance that defines what it is and how loud it can be.
The town has established – what is called – a plainly audible standard in residential areas.
WBOC reports that this is a method that is used to identify a noise disturbance.
This is aside from simply measuring the number of decibels.
The measure is an effort to bring down the number of late night disturbances that involve rental units of more than 20 to 30 people
