Subject: RE: Help: Busking in Public - Scottish Law
Hello, End of Tether. You have my sympathy.
1. Earplugs "go the wrong way." They are designed to mask machine noise while letting voices be heard. They only make the busker's music clearer.
2. My sister was complaining bitterly about college students and their end-of-term parties with loud rock music. I searched the web and bought her this:

Might be worth a try.
3. Why not throw open your windows and put Beethoven's Ninth or The 1812 Overture on your stereo at high volume? The busker might go somewhere else.

In my view, buskers should not be amplified.
