    The Supreme Court heard arguments about whether New York City could regulate the volume of concerts held in Central Park. The city argued it has a regulation requiring concerts to use the city's sound system to control volume and prevent disturbing nearby residents. The concert organizers argued this infringed on free expression and the concerts were no louder than other loud events like orchestras. Some of the concert organizers' arguments, like comparing sound limits to when listeners' ears bleed, did not appear to persuade the justices. The Supreme Court is expected to rule on the case soon.
