Description
I thought maybe I had become a curmudgeon, but after speaking with other friends and neighbors in the Chatham Square neighborhood, it's clear I'm not the only one who's sick of the ice cream truck. I don't know what the truck looks like, because I was afraid I would confront the driver (and not nicely) if I bothered to go out and check, but there is an ice cream truck that not only drives around with music blaring, but also has that horrible recorded "Hello!" bellowing well past 9:30 p.m. many nights, including weeknights. I make my children go to bed at 9:00 p.m., and I don't make it much longer, so this is a major annoyance, to say the least. All of my other friends who are parents find this after hours ice cream truck ridiculous and annoying, too. Is there some sort of noise ordinance against this? I would hate to egg the ice cream man, but I'm getting really close to doing it!

i couldn't agree more - its a major annoyance and so inappropriate to try and lure kids out for ice cream that late at night! i for one will keep my eyes peeled for the truck and try and get the company name and find a phone number - if i do, i'll post it here and we can each call and lodge our own personal complaint
ps the other night it was playing silent night?! what is that about?

He has no right to be here in the first place.
This is private property.
The music and that HELLO has got to go.

Ice cream truck music at 10:00 PM? That sounds like a bad movie.
I second libbymj's request for possible solutions!

Oy. This truck makes me so angry. The noise in the park and the car racing on the street has greatly decreased this year. . .and now, this truck blares that freaky "hello" at 9:45 at night.
Please, tell me how to make it stop.
The truck itself looks like a conversion van with garish stickers all over it.

I have seen him stopped at the Waucoma Yacht Club on occasion but adults were buying ice cream. Yes, he plays the music while customers buy their treats.
