Answer

How could loud music on Mallorca beaches be controlled?

If a municipality wants to limit loud music, it usually needs clear criteria for what counts as a disturbance and who measures it. The Sóller debate shows why that matters: without transparent limits and proper enforcement, rules can feel arbitrary. Any effective system would need defined zones, complaint procedures and a fair way to handle different situations.
