>The noise is in earshot of IDEPSCA’s day laborer center

I find it misleading to add this line in the article without mentioning if the decibels exceed the applicable noise ordinances, or situation this is just people on HD's property complaining about the noise they are making on their own property. In that case people are free not to visit.

So if it's below the legal limit, people are not allowed to protest and/or complain about it?

It's their property so they should be able to do what they want with it. Stopping people from complaining is impossible. If you were to smash an iPhone someone would complain about how you wasted it or something, but ultimately it's up to the owner on how they want to handle their property.

I agree and believe we should boycott a company if we object to the choices they make with their property.

> In that case people are free not to visit.

That sounds like an excellent plan. It's nice to find an article containing information that lets one make that decision, eh? The free market in action.

Yes, the free market will help decide the optimal volume to avoid bothering legitimate customers.
