Is the continuous splish-splash noise that comes from ice-eater water circulators used in the winter to keep a dock from getting ice damaged in violation of this noise ordinance?

Considering that water circulators are almost always on waterfront property that pays big property taxes makes it a politically sensitive question and it seems like most towns do not want to take a look-see at this water circulator noise issue and just brush it off by saying "you need to work it out between yourselves."

If the same amount of splish-splash noise were made in an off-waterfront residential area, and came from some device such as a fan or a motor, it would probably be considered to be a violation but coming from the waterfront it is accepted as ok ...... money talks .......
