A Saturday demonstration in front of Mayor Michael Bloomberg's home was the latest in a series of moves to revamp the 80-year-old law that was enacted to keep noise down in neighborhoods, the New York Post reported.

Bloomberg has followed former Mayor Rudy Giuliani's path of quality-of-life bylaw enforcement that targets noisy, late-night party spots, the newspaper said. The city council has a debate scheduled on modernizing the noise ordinance, the newspaper said.
