Nowadays, many parks, gardens and public squares have been transformed in multiple noise sources, ranging from improvised artists, commercial sites, etc., where many of them, in order to publizise their activities or products, generate noise beyond any standard, and as informal businesses with grate movility, are hard to control. But you can also find public shows, either free or organized by national or local authorities, by commercial institutions or political parties, which in order to celebrate a given historical date, or the beating of the contender, organize events with megaphonic equipment, which last till late at night. Although performers and public might vary from event to event, neighbors are always the same, and people willing to relax have to change activity.
