Fight loud music with louder music

The Flathead County Sheriff’s Office was drawn into a neighborhood dispute when called to a noise complaint on Gunsite Loop in Evergreen. The man was playing his radio too loud for his neighbor, but when he was approached by deputies, he said he was tired of his neighbor playing his music too loud. He told deputies he had previously been told there was no noise ordinance in effect at the property and “to buy a stereo and play music loud back at [his neighbor].” He was advised that disorderly conduct was still a criminal offense, and he agreed to turn his stereo down.
