    Incorrect.

    Quoted from the Hartford Municipal Code Chapter 23:
    (c)In the absence of a sound level meter, any noise plainly audible pursuant to subsection 23-2(b) constitutes prima facie evidence of a violation of this section
    Are you suggesting there has to be absolute silence lest it be a violation of the law? Seriously? We can all guess what would happen to such an onerous law if challenged.

    Which means that the burden is on the defendant to prove that his noise level did not exceed 45db in the neighbor's apartment.

    There are many decibel level charts on the internet and almost all rate conversational speech at 3' at 60 db.



    Imagine 9 people in an apartment, likely all in the living room, having several conversations, each speaking louder than normal just to be heard over the din of the other conversations and you can easily exceed 45db if measured in the neighbor's apartment and maybe 70 to 80 in the OP's apartment.





    Ditto.
    So let's nine people all in the living room. Ok, now what? Are you suggesting none can speak, at all?

    If so, I suggest the op sit at their house quietly and listen for the neighbor to make any noise what so ever and start calling the police every time they hear him fart.


    even you said many charts list a conversation AT 3 FEET at 60 dB. Sound drops considerably with distance and especially with insulation such as the wall and such in between.
