I've told this story before, but this is probably a good time to bring it up again. Universal Orlando used a clever subterfuge concerning sound when they built the park, knowing they might have potential issues with a suburban neighborhood near by. This excerpt is from "Jaybangs" by Sam Gennawey, mostly based on his interviews with Jay Stein, the principle behind the building of Universal Orlando.
"The Universal planners were worried that noise from fireworks would create issues with neighbors. Swann got a call from Tony Sauber,who had been in the class behind Swann at Duke Law School. Swann considered him a very smart guy, and they worked together in revising the city's noise ordinance. While most of the ordinance provisions were relatively standard, they accomplished having the noise level measured at the point of receipt, not emanation (which had been the customary standard). USF planners were triumphant with the new ordinance. It was especially useful when Islands of Adventure opened because, unlike USF, it had big, noise making rides close to a school"
Different locale of course, but an example of how resourceful Universal can be.
