    Interestingly enough, typical human conversation is in the 55-65dB range. So outside near your neighbor is illegal.

    That's not entirely true. FWC can enforce any state, local, or federal law, including boating, fishing, hunting, and pollution also. They can also enforce any traffic law, though it's rare that they do. They've got better things to do.

    You're correct that FWC has nothing to do with this circumstance.
