I know my opinions can be strongly worded, some may think I have no compassion for those with honest disabilities, who might have an issue with this sort of thing. That's still no reason to limit or stop a certain part of the celebration. I live in a very quiet neighborhood and when the Fire Dept do their food drives and drive up and down the streets, sirens blaring, driving slowly, especially on a Saturday morning, i'm not too happy about it. They drive by about 5 mph and those sirens can be extremely loud. I don't complain because it's for a good cause. I just get another cup of coffee, put my headphones on and after their done, it's quiet again.
Those people with such serious disabilities know what bothers their children and should be able to make some adjustment for a couple of hrs. The very few that there might be, i'm sure the town would be willing to make a sacrifice for and issue some kind of sound proofing headgear, something like is used in a firing range. The amount of people that would require them is probably in the single digits and i'm sure the police could loan out some.
Usually people with those kinds of disabilities are responsible people and i'm sure it would be very easy to coordinate a system, to deliver and pickup those types of headgear. Most people with those types of disabilities already have something like that because of their disability. When I was married, I had a stepdaughter with epilepsy and she coudln't watch fireworks or parades with lights flashing. This was very difficult around the 4th, I lived in downtown Bristol at the time. We made adjustments, never complained, just had to adjust and live with the consequences.
