Whether this truly makes sense or not is up for debate [though historically courts have sided more with corporations] and as such would have expression rights under the law. Most cities have noise pollution and disturbing the peace laws that forbid anyone from getting to rowdy. If your neighbors complain and your decibel level is too high you can get fined. Expressive freedom or not. I'm curious as to whether Château du Sexe's "urban" neighborhood doesn't have such laws or perhaps such laws didn't apply.
