               In determining whether a noise is unreasonably loud and disturbing, the following
               factors incident to such noise are to be considered: Time of day; proximity to residential
               structures; whether the noise is recurrent, intermittent, or constant; the volume
               and intensity; whether the noise has been enhanced in volume or range by any type
               of electronic or mechanical means; the character and zoning (if applicable) of the
               area; whether the noise is related to the normal operation of a business or other
               labor activity; whether the noise is subject to being controlled without unreasonable
               effort or expense to the creator thereof.
