Police Sound

The song criticizes police brutality and systemic racism.[3][4] It begins with KRS-One whooping twice to evoke a police siren (the "sound of the police"); this recurs several times throughout the song. The heavy bass sample loop, and part of a guitar solo were taken from Grand Funk Railroad's cover of "Inside-Looking Out", the final track of their LP Grand Funk.[5] Part of the drum track is taken from "Sing a Simple Song" by Sly and the Family Stone.[5]

The song was featured in the American films Cop Out, Tag, Black and Blue, and the British film Attack the Block. It was featured as an in-game radio selection in the 2015 video game Battlefield Hardline (by Electronic Arts), and was used for the end credits of the 2016 movie Ride Along 2[9] and in the 2016 published The Angry Birds Movie soundtrack. It has appeared in the TV show Brooklyn Nine-Nine.[10] The 'Whoop whoop, sound of da police' hook has been referenced by ska punk band Sonic Boom Six on their track "Piggy in the Middle",[11] by Body Count on their song "Black Hoodie" and in metal band Skindred on the title track of their 2002 debut album Babylon. The song plays over the final scenes and closing credits of season 3, episode 2 of Sex Education.[12]It is the theme music for the long-running stand-up show on BBC Radio 4, Alfie Moore - It's a Fair Cop.

The song is well known in France, where the chorus is commonly misinterpreted as "assassins de la police" (literrally "police killer").[13] A remix of the song by DJ Cut Killer was featured in the soundtrack of the film La Haine.[14] The hip hop duo Suprme NTM later sampled the chorus on their album Live.[13]

The Seattle Police Department (SPD) prevents crime, enforces laws, and supports quality public safety by delivering respectful, professional, and dependable police services. SPD operates within a framework that divides the city into five geographical areas called "precincts".

I have built a two channel fixture with a lamp and a motor-driven reflector that spins at variable speed depending on the dmx value received, to simulate an old-timey 'police light' the kind that spins (think warning beacon in a nuclear power plant). It takes a value for intensity and a value for rotation speed. (see attached image for the type of fixture I'm talking about).

Excerpt from Section 2915

It is unlawful for any person without justification to make or continue, or cause or permit to be made or continued, any unnecessary, excessive, or offensive noise, as defined in Section 2901.11, and including vocal or instrumental music and related sounds, whether live or reproduced mechanically by radio, television, stereo or otherwise, and which disturbs the peace or quiet of any neighborhood or which causes discomfort or annoyance of any reasonable person of normal sensitivity residing or working in the area. Full Text of Article 29: Regulation of Noise

To complain about the granting of a permit for a sound system, one night event, extended hours permit, submit a Service Request or call 311. If in a City Park, open a Service Request to the Recreation and Parks Department or call 311.

Noise between 7am to 8pm, 7 days a week, including holidays is generally permitted. Noise must not exceed noise level of five decibels at the nearest lot line, without a special permit. Five decibels is similar to the sound of a screw gun installing screws in drywall. There is an on-line permit system to verify if permits have been issued and if there are any pending complaints:

Just as litter degrades the landscape of the community, noise degrades the soundscape. The U.S. Census Bureau's "Surveys of Neighborhood Problems," conducted over the past three decades, has consistently placed noise among the top four issues of concern.

Noise events may occur at random -- on occasions when a code enforcement officer with a sound level meter is not available. For those occasions, County law has a provision establishing a noise disturbance violation. The noise disturbance criteria are more subjective, and dependent upon the observations and testimony of witnesses and/or a code enforcement officer.

A noise disturbance, as defined by the Montgomery County Noise Law (56KB, PDF), is any sound that is:

Please refer to your lease or the covenants for your condominium or cooperative housing association to understand the conditions related to the entitlement of peace and quiet enjoyment of your living space. Failure of the building manager or property management company to provide a living space without recurring sound-related disruptions may constitute a breach of the lease or association covenants.

The standard unit by which sound is measured is the decibel (dB), a relative measure of sound intensity. Decibels are calculated on a logarithmic scale (meaning that a measure of 40 dB is 10 times greater than one of 30 dB). Some examples of typical situations and their corresponding decibel levels are:

Loudness is a subjective measure because different people have different levels of hearing and don't experience sound in the same way. Someone who is hard of hearing, for example, might not perceive a jackhammer as loud while someone with excellent hearing could be disturbed by the same noise. Both people, however, would experience the same level of sound intensity.

During business hours, Code Enforcement personnel from the Department of Environmental Protection investigate complaints by using sound level meters to measure dBA levels at property lines. After regular business hours, the Noise Law allows police officers to issue citations for noise disturbances on their own judgment and with the testimony of witnesses.

Noise measurements are taken with a sound level meter meeting Type II specifications. The meter shall be certified annually with equipment traceable to NIST and ANSI specification S1.4 (American National Standard Specification for Sound Level Meters)

Issues involving routine sounds associated with living in a multifamily setting, such as loud voices, heavy footsteps, doors slamming, dropping objects on the floor, children playing, or running pets are the responsibility of the building manager or property management company to resolve.

Outdoor amplified sound can be a pleasurable experience at a restaurant, music event, or party, but it can create noise problems for surrounding neighbors if not adequately controlled. Other forms of amplified sound, such as an outdoor PA system used at a place of business or sporting event, can be another source of unwanted noise, which can sometimes carry a considerable distance from the source.

All outdoor amplified sound must comply with the decibel limits established in the Noise Control Law, which are measured at the nearest residential receiving property line. The established limits are:

A person must not sell, buy, offer for sale, or use a leaf blower at any time that has an average sound level exceeding 70 dBA (A-weighted decibels) at a distance of 50 feet. This requirement is in addition to any other noise level or noise disturbance standard that applies under the Noise Law. The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) must apply the current leaf blower testing standard of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) to determine the noise level at 50 feet.

The LRAD made one of its earliest appearances in U.S. policing at the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City. It was later used against Black Lives Matter protesters in Ferguson and New York, and at the protests against the Dakota Access Pipeline in Standing Rock. The precise number of police departments that own LRADs is unknown. But they are relatively easy for departments to acquire under a federal program known as 1033, which gives law enforcement and other municipal agencies access to surplus military equipment.

Genasys currently produces 11 LRAD models. Each has a different maximum loudness, but all have the capacity to cause acute sound trauma at the distances common in protest. The LRAD 100x, a common model for police departments, has a maximum loudness of 137 dB at one meter, with loudness gradually decreasing as distance increases. The threshold of loudness that causes pain in healthy adults is between 120 and 140 dB, which means anyone within the first 25 feet of the LRAD could experience pain or ear damage.

After exposure, check yourself and others for the symptoms outlined above. Give calm, quiet care to your companions, which should help to restore the sense of self after the dehumanizing and frightening experience of police violence. If someone is experiencing significant symptoms of sound exposure, encourage them to leave the scene and consult with a hearing specialist to address impacts. If you can, help them to get home safely, since they may be disoriented.

As with any form of violence, those victimized by sound weapons need ongoing compassion and care. Continue to check in on anyone exposed to LRAD sound, or other police violence, and not only in the following days and weeks. We as a community can help lessen the long-term effects of police violence trauma if we honestly and openly care for each other, as well as advocate for legal and political change.
