Dave's Ices must be one of the worst ice cream vendors in the UK for noise nuisance but he is probably one of many who only care about themselves.
At about 15 DB above Defra's permitted maximum allowed volume the sound of his chimes can be heard 500 meters away.
It's like getting 11 unsolicited phone calls in 40 minutes and causes just as much annoyance.
It's about time that the use of loud speakers in ice cream vans was made illegal.
You can get apps for smart phones that they can use to notify customers they are about but these salesmen are predatory.
They want no limits, it's no wonder people hate them.
They have lobbied Defra and extended the allowed nuisance they are allowed to cause.
Dave's Ices has never complied with Defra legislation even when the noise limited was lower a few years ago when it was set at 70 DB at 5 meters he was putting out 100 DB at 5 meters.
