Is it the constant clatter of construction? Is it the \u201cwoo-girls\u201d ambling back home after a fishbowl too many at Wando\u2019s? Or maybe it&#8217;s open-wheeled transportation like the Madtown Hopper, shuttling folks home to the tune of their choice of music?<\/p>\n<p>The city seems to be hedging its bets on the Hopper. Under a proposed new ordinance, motor vehicles, pedal-cabs and commercial quadricycles would be held legally responsible for any music that could be heard from 50 feet away, a downgrade from the current legal limit of 75 feet.<\/p>\n<p>Amir Morning, owner and operator of the Madtown Hopper, says this could deal a huge blow to his business.\u00a0In a\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/host.madison.com\/ct\/news\/local\/govt-and-politics\/proposed-ordinance-change-would-further-limit-amplified-music-from-vehicles\/article_2708ba64-5dae-5039-95d9-272a9c2f35ce.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement to <em>The Cap Times<\/em><\/a>, he notes that music is a huge part of how he gets his customers.\u00a0Because the Hopper is electric, Morning contends they need to announce themselves, sometimes loudly. &#8220;(People) hear us before they see us,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<p>But Ald. Ledell\u00a0Zellers,\u00a0District 2, makes a fair point: &#8220;The concern was we didn\u2019t want that proliferating and have kind of a noise war for these kinds of vehicles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There are definite pros and cons to this proposal. On the plus side, it will do a great job in reducing the often obnoxious noise that pours out of some pedal-cabs. <em>Tone Madison\u2019<\/em>s Chris Lay explained this perfectly in his hilarious 2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tonemadison.com\/articles\/my-hatred-of-the-pedal-pub-is-deep-and-true\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deconstruction of trolley pubs<\/a>. But then again, no one wants to be an old man yelling at clouds, berating the kids with their gol-darn loud hippity-hop music \u2014 especially in a city with such a rising population of young people.
