Letter: Keep it down for everyone’s sake

Baby, it’s loud outside.

Please consider that fireworks are terrifying to many, if not most, pets in your neighborhood.

Please also consider that loud sounds travel well past your pools and patios.

In our Shawnee neighborhood just off Spencerville Road, for example, we have people who week after week and year after year disregard their neighbors’ and Allen County peace officers’ requests to keep down the volume of their music and to stop playing it late at night.

We are proud to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. It’s a shame some homeowners also want to make it the land of the loud.
