This acoustic assault has been occurring for a year now and is getting worse. Now adding loud music during and between speakers. Begins before 1 pm and runs constant until around 7 pm. Six hours!

Group is filming for their YouTube channel and not interacting with passerbys except to stand guard. Suggest their permit be relocated to the SE corner of Moore Square where there are no residents, businesses, outdoor diners, and less tourist foot traffic to disrupt. Way too loud!

Might I suggest contacting the police? Both RPD and SCP use acoustic meters to measure the decibel level. If it is above the ordinance level permitted they will ask them to turn down the sound to what is allowed if in fact it is too high.

Had been done countless times via the non-emergency number by residents and perhaps businesses. Sometimes they do respond, observe and measure, speak to the group and the sound is reduced to loud-but-tolerable. So the group knows the acceptable volume level. But as soon as they are gone the volume is right back to “11”.

For 6+ hours every Saturday. This group is not self-policing and no one is sitting on them for the entire six-hour session.

Really suggest relocating their permit to another corner of Moore Square further away from residents, businesses, outside diners, and the major entrance into Moore Square park. Also not a good city impression on the tourist traffic passing through that corner.

Thank you for contacting the City of Raleigh. This issue has been directed to the appropriate staff or is otherwise a duplicate of another complaint that has already been processed.

Please provide resolution info or link duplicate complaint.

I also agree on this concern. The City of Raleigh just put a new noise ordinance into effect during the last council meeting.

This has been a problem since 2019. Hateful speech speaking out against multiple groups based on religious and racial demographics. This group is doing nothing but scaring customers and tourists away from the area in fear. Why has this been allowed to continue for over 4 years?
