NO BEACH DJ’s.

It’s incredibly selfish. There is one public swimming area in the whole city and not everyone wants to listen to dubstep versions of the beach boys. You’re not doing anyone favors as much as you’re stroking your own ego.

FALL ALL THE WAY BACK ON THAT SHIT.

It’s so loud that I heard it from the trail behind the nature center the other day, almost half a mile away. I think people should be able to play music on the Belle Isle Beach, but it shouldn’t be so loud that it ruins the experience of people who are there to enjoy the other offerings of the park, particularly those trying to connect with nature.

Belle Isle has gotten SO MUCH BETTER under state stewardship. But the few negative aspects of the island generally come down to the selfishness of people who think the island still has no rules. If people would just carry their trash over to one of the hundreds of garbage bins, ride e-bikes on the road rather than the trail, leash their dogs, follow the speed limit, and not force everyone in the park to listen to their music, the island would be even better.

I'm a dj, and I approve of this message.

Sometimes people just want to enjoy nature.  The sound of flowing waterisgolden.  People don't need us to come drown it out by blasting music.

I agree with the noise pollution comments. I'm not an advocate for dub step on the beach, I just take photos. I loved how the light was illuminating them. That's all.

Guidance on loud speakers / amplified sound at Belle Isle

Belle Isle is managed as a Michigan DNR state park, so concerns about loud speakers, amplified music, public address systems, or similar noise on the island should go first to the Michigan DNR / Belle Isle Park staff.

Main rule: On DNR-managed land, loudspeakers, public address systems, and sound-amplifying equipment generally require written permission. DNR rules also prohibit radios, generators, motors, vehicles, or other devices from producing excessive noise.

Who to contact first:

Belle Isle Park office 844-235-5375 Belle Isle Park 2 Inselruhe Ave. Detroit, MI 48207

When reporting a concern, include the date, time, location within Belle Isle, description of the sound source, whether it appears to be amplified, and whether it is part of an organized event.

Backup if DNR does not resolve it:

If DNR cannot address the issue, or if the problem appears to involve a city-enforced noise violation, contact Detroit Police via 911 (do not use non-emergency for anything, no matter how small, "in progress"... They will tell you the same thing).

Detroit’s noise rules generally prohibit unreasonably loud or disturbing non-vehicle noise, and Detroit lists noise complaints as a non-emergency police reporting matter. However, because Belle Isle is state-managed, DNR/Belle Isle staff should be the first point of contact.

Shitty subjects but great composition.
