to provide for the greater control and more-effective regulation of
excessive sound and the sources of excessive sound within the Borough
of Hughesville.

hour or more to the disturbance of any person any time of the day
or night, regardless of whether the animal or bird is physically situated
in or upon private property, said noise being a nuisance; provided
