We're in Hawaiian Acres. Somebody a quarter mile away from us was having a LOUD party last year. We called the cops. The dispatcher said, "would you please turn down your radio, I can't hear you." Of course, our radio wasn't on, it was the party they heard. A cop talked to the party givers, told us they would shut down at 11. At 11:15, party still going loud, called the cops again, who were aggrieved that we expected them to come all the way out here AGAIN. Like it's our fault, not the partiers or the cops who didn't make an impression. They did come again, and said the music would shut down by 12:30. We called again at 1 am; that time, the cops actually did make them shut down the music.
My friend in Hilo called the cops one afternoon because her neighbor was drumming in his garage. They showed up promptly and made him stop.
I believe the laws are state- or county-wide, but the cops don't enforce them consistently. They say this area is the wild west; I guess the cops like it that way.
