That's my feeling on the matter but I'm curious how that works with local ordinances vs. freedom of speech, etc. I would think one could easily make the argument that such devices used for protests, unless the protest is planned and has a permit and a roped off area or something, shouldn't be allowed to disturb the peace in that way.
Sound waves are physical energy against which you have the right to defend yourself.

Yeah I guess the law’s jurisdiction would be to enforce quiet hours or decibel ordinances. I wouldn’t count on converged law enforcement though.
“unless the protest is planned and has a permit and a roped off area”
Like Charlottesville was. The permit just gave the communist collaboration of antifa and police a heads up to plan their attacks and frame-up jobs.
