Noise raises its head in many south Florida communities. A few years ago, led by former Commissioner JoAnn Golden, there was a re-write of Lake Worth's noise ordinance. It was focused on a few establishments in the downtown that had open-air music venues. One of the targets was "The Cottage" that no longer plagues the complainers' night time solitude since it closed. PBSO would respond to noise complaints made by a handful of people, but those same people would be upset if there was no response due to PBSO handling of emergency or life-threatening situations going on at the same time.
