This query is : Resolved
I am having a very good music system (Home Theatre)with output of 100 watts r.m.s per channel.My house is just 3 feet away from my neighbour's house. Is there any law restricting for the loudness to be heard in residential areas specially when our houses are almost touching each other while watching HDTV with good home theater attached for better quality sound.

There is no specific law. But any neighbours creating trouble by noise can be prevented by a civil suit for mandatory injunction restraining such neighbour from creating noise. The remedy for such issues are adequately covered under the Law of Specific Relief Act for which the relief is mandatory injunction.
