Real Estate / Disturbing the peace
Italian term or phrase: strumenti sonori
From regulations for a tourist complex: [...] a non disturbare la quiete ed il riposo degli ospiti del complesso con schiamazzi o rumori molesti o abusando di strumenti sonori o di segnalazioni acustiche, in particolare, dalle 14.00 alle 17.00 e dalle 24.00 alle 07.00.

Most of this is OK, but what precisely do "strumenti sonori" and "segnalazioni acustiche" mean?

These are 2 terms, so I'll ask 2 questions.

I'm tempted to put "musical instruments or amplified sounds", but I am not certain that that is precise enough.

sound equipment
Explanation:
as in hi-fi, amplifiers etc and other sound-generating devices. I don't think this would include 'strumenti musicali' but couldn't swear to it

Thank you all.

A bunch of people with a few acoustic guitars and bongos can be pretty irritating at 3am, but I think this is the correct term here ;)

agree  writeaway: certainly makes sense in the context, unless people have a habit of taking their trumpets and drums along on holiday...
