Whereas excessive sound is a serious hazard to the
public health, welfare, safety, and the quality of life; and, whereas,
a substantial body of science and technology exists by which excessive
sound may be substantially abated; and, whereas, the people have a
right to, and should be ensured of, an environment free from excessive
sound; now, therefore, it is the policy of the Borough of Madison
to prevent excessive sound that may jeopardize the health, welfare
or safety of the citizens or degrade the quality of life.
