Residents tell Rolling Stones to turn it down

It’s only rock and roll – but they didn’t like it.

San Francisco officials received a deluge of complaints about the noise from residents near SBC Park, where the Rolling Stones played to a packed stadium on Sunday night.

Many callers complained of windows and floors vibrating.

“I’ve got no artistic judgement against the Rolling Stones, but just because they’re too old to hear their music doesn’t mean their music has to be so loud,” said Ted Weinstein, who said he heard noise from the concert from his home miles away.

Bob Davis, executive director of the city’s Entertainment Commission, said his phone started ringing as soon as the Stones began playing.

He said city officials were now likely to attend tonight’s concert with a sound meter to check that stadium authorities obeyed noise laws.

Representatives of the Giants baseball team, which owns SBC Park, said they would try to reduce the noise level.
