Why does the playing of classical music (i.e., Beethoven, Mozart) in public areas deter gang activity?

It changes their mood. \n\nThis article talks about this.

Well, it might not just be about the content of the concert, but the ban could be related to a.) the audience that's attracted and b.) the behaviour of the audience.\n\nWhen I was in college there was a Ted Nugent concert in Kingston PA -- the crowd got so out of hand and even tried to burn the place down.  There wasnt another rock concert in the Wilkes-Barre area for about 10 years.

Because the majority of people who go to gyms like horrible music. There is, however, an outside chance that the gym is playing horrible music because it is cheaper to license and play than music that is less horrible, not because the patrons want it. I doubt it, though, since a gym that plays music nobody likes would probably get a ton of complaints and be forced to change it. \n\nThe gyms I have visited seem to play a lot of techno and dance music, presumably because that is the only music the average gym member listens to. They hear it in their car, then in the gym, then at the nightclub after they're done with their workout. Their tiny minds simply can't handle a change in the routine.

I think you should be very careful.  You never know what people will do these days.  Talking with people is a good way to bring about change sometimes.  Depending on what they are doing, calling the police or other authorities might be advisable also.  Here is something I did once, that I think is pretty funny, and it also proved to be effective.  My next door neighbor's carport was right by my bedroom window.  I worked nights, and slept late some days.  He liked to work on cars and always played rap music very loudly while doing so.  One day I decided I'd had enough, so on my side of the privacy fence I set up a very powerful mobile dj system with the huge speakers on stands at ear level and aimed right at the fence where he would be working on the other side.  As soon as he started to play the rap music and work on his car, I started playing a CD of Dean Martin at full power.  It drowned out his music.  I let it play for about a half hour then I shut it off.  By then he had given up and went inside.  He never played his music loud again.  I guess he wasn't a big fan of Deano!

Many do (rely only on natural acoustics.)  It often depends on the use in question.  Most symphony halls ahve sound systems, but do not use them in the hall when the symphone is playing.  The natural sound and sound balance is a key to the experience of listening to a classical orchestra.

Music is organized sound, so I think the answer would be "irregular vibration patterns".  These links should help.

Most likely the use of string instruments (like violins and cellos), for these instruments are what largely make up orchestras, which you know, play lots of classical music and have lots of classical music written for them.

most states have laws about this. most don't allow music after 8pm or 12am. but it very's. you can call your code enforcement or police help desk and ask them for the law in your city.

In the UK (maybe the same in other countries?) the company who plays the music has to have a public entertainment license, so it does not violate the copyright laws, as a percentage of the licence fee goes to royalties for songwriters/artists etc.

loud music does nothing to a person, its all the choices that person makes, its absurd when people try to blame someone else for something. during the columbine highschool incident people were blaming rock stars like marilyn manson for warping those boys. whatever happend to personal responsibility?? loud music isnt a murder weapon, music doesnt kill people, PEOPLE kill people.

The music and blocking of your driveway are illegal.  Contact the police.  They can have visitors all day and night you can't control that, you can only complain if they make "loud" noise.  Also they can park in front of your house, they just can't block the driveway.  The street is public so you can't stop them.

I have always heard that it is a distraction and that you should not. If you choose to then you should choose classical.\nHOWEVER... I prefer to study with music on. So while studies may say that it is better not to, I think that it really does depend on individuals. For me it was never a distraction. I did not get as distracted. I usually ended up tuning out the songs, but for some reason it seemed to help me get started.

music's purpose is to entertain and doesn't have ethnical singularity. I know many african americans who listen to "pop" and "rock" music. There's nothing wrong with that.

Good luck with this man. All I know is that most towns have laws against using them on the street but it is a Grey area. It seems to be a bit like High output audio systems, it just depends on if the cop likes it or not. Nice to live in a free country isn't it. :)

There is some evidence that listening to certain types of music can benefit your ability to learn, in particular classical music (known as the "Mozart Effect"). However, the results are mixed and in general it seems to just be something that works for some people and not for others.

That depends on the link betwwen the art and the receiver, some may consider listening to the words of for example rap or metal naseuating,causing them to vomit, while it has proven with others joyful, i personally digest better when i listen to mozart.Also Some paintings (oil) could produce an odour that causes headache to some people.
