SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Complaints are pouring in after residents in one San Francisco neighborhood are hearing classical music blaring throughout the night.
A speaker in the parking lot of the Safeway on Webster Street near Geary has been playing music since February, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
It’s used to deter loitering.
But over the weekend – the volume went up and stayed on overnight.
A Safeway spokesperson says playing music is a “common industry practice,” but it’s unclear why it’s being played so loud.
