(a) It shall be unlawful for any person owning, occupying or having charge of any building or premises or
any part thereof, in the city, at any time to cause or suffer or allow any loud, unnecessary, excessive
or unusual noises in the operation of any radio, phonograph or other mechanical sound -making device
or instrument, or reproducing device or instrument, or in the playing of any band, orchestra, musician
or group of musicians, or in the use of any device to amplify the music of any band, orchestra, musician
or group of musicians, where the noise or music is plainly audible at a distance of 100 feet from the
building, structure, vehicle or premises in which or from which it is produced. The fact that the noise
or music is plainly audible at a distance of 100 feet from the vehicle or premises from which it originates
constitutes prima facie evidence of a violation of this chapter.
(b) The city commission may declare an exemption from the prohibitions contained in paragraph (a) above
