This provision is a "subjective immission" control. This provision is generic in that it covers all events that are considered disturbing by a listener, with or without measurement. The strength of this provision is that it covers situations not contemplated in a noise ordinance and can be used as backup for more specific provisions. The weakness is that it may not give "fair warning", may lead to arbitrary enforcement on the part of the regulator, or permit unreasonable demands by a listener.
