Noise ordinance

I‘m wondering if any of you who have a cabin/ house on a Winni island have had to resolve a noise issue in the neighborhood? We are right nextdoor to the biggest partiers (until 2 am on weekends). They’re pretty loud during the day already (jet skis etc) but at night they really ramp it up a notch (yelling, alcohol, throwing each other in the water, etc).

I’ve called the Town Hall and also the Police, both said there’s a noise ordinance (no noise between 10 pm and 7 am) but the document that I found online says it „excludes Lake Winnipesaukee“. Does that mean it excludes the islands?

We do have an Island association but the main organizer often parties with our neighbors and the subject was just omitted from discussion at the yearly meeting.

I feel if we could refer to an official noise ordinance we might have a better chance of getting reasonable compliance or, if necessary, enforcement through the police.

Thank you.
