PHILADELPHIA | Residents along Delaware River fed up with loud 'boom parties'

From 6ABC Philadelphia on 05/31/22: Residents in South Jersey and Philadelphia are fed up with loud parties that can be heard from miles away.

Neighbors say "boom parties" have been taking over the streets of Philadelphia for years and it's now getting out of control.

"We're sick of it. It's been here five years and we've been calling and asking," said Yvonne Stephens of Philadelphia's Bridesburg neighborhood.

The speaker systems are massive. The rumbles from the bass can be heard and felt over in South Jersey, according to residents.

"It will wake you up out of a dead sleep, but it's just that constant bass," said Westville neighbor Jeff Stefan.

Stefan lives along the river and started a Facebook group called "Inconsiderate Late Night Philly Music" to try and track down the source.
