The White Stone Town Council held a public hearing on July 1 on a proposed noise ordinance. According to the Rappahannock Record the ordinance restricts loud music and other amplification devices between 11:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. It also limits construction and commercial vehicle noise along with lawnmower and household tool noise. One couple suggested the cutoff should start at 10:30 p.m. as live music from a nearby restaurant keeps them up at night.
