THE anti-noise NGO, Citizens Against Noise Pollution of TT (CANPTT), was very concerned at not just fireworks but at many incidents taking place over the Christmas season of people seeking to "spread cheer" by driving noisy music trucks through neighbourhoods with "Santa" and deejays frantically screaming into the microphones.

CANPTT vice president Lindy-Ann Bachoo related her experiences to Newsday on December 29.

"'Come out and meet Santa', but they are screaming into the microphone, stopping sometimes for a period of time in communities, and they have industrial speakers blasting.
