Residents of Manchester, New Hampshire, are sounding off about a noisy convenience store, blaring opera music day and night for the last several weeks. The music — mainly Pavarotti, Verdi and Puccini — is coming from speakers outside the 7-Eleven on South Main Street. Neighbors were told it was meant to stop young people from loitering. While it may be successful in that regard, it has also kept people in the area up at night. The Manchester Police Department was told by the store’s manager that as a concession they would turn the music off late at night. Police say noise emitting from properties in the city is expected to be at a “reasonable level” by 10 p.m.
