LEOMINSTER, MASS. (WHDH) - Police in one Massachusetts city say they plan to start issuing $100 fines to drivers of vehicles that make “unnecessary noise.”

In a new ordinance, Leominster police warned residents, “No sound reproduction system operated within a motor vehicle in such a manner as to create unnecessary noise for any person other than the driver and passengers in said vehicle.”
