"..the officer may take enforcement action to abate such noise upon detecting the noise, or upon receiving a complaint from another person. "
This is the good and bad of it. You have to make a complaint for the authorities to take action under NH 'disturbing the peace' rules. Whatever their reasoning for the public entertainment, if they were asked to turn it down and did not, police assistance could have been requested. During the day there is usually little they can do besides ask the obnoxious to turn it down though.
But... Frequently people this oblivious about the negative results of their action are intoxicated. Even if the operator is sober,this could provide enough leverage to get them to adjust their behavior.
