@BraceMaker, thank you for that explanation. However, for me, it depends on the music, which should be interpreted to mean it's not important. So, now you have houses along the lake, is their music to be controlled also?? I'd rather live in a "looser" community, not one with too many rules. I recognize that some rules are needed for the safety of all. I personally do not view music as one of those. So on days when Mr and Mrs Wakeboarder are playing music that appeals to me I'm having fun with them. On days when I do not like their music then so be it.
