BOSTON -- Music coming from an ice cream truck is a sound that's pretty common in the summer, but now it could be banned in Boston. The Boston Herald reported that some city councilors said ice cream truck tunes are too noisy and one said he's been awakened in the middle of the night. Councilor Sal LaMattina, from East Boston, will call for a hearing Wednesday on whether ice cream trucks should be forced to go back to tingling bells rather than bellowing tunes. LaMattina said he is proposing the bill after dozens of residents complained at a recent neighborhood meeting.
