Deontology private
(1)
Negative beneficence
Annoyances corporeal
2. Hearing—sense of hearing. To This sense, annoyance may be
applied in a direct way, or in a collateral way by the instrumentality
of the association of ideas
In a direct way, either by the quality of the sound or by
its quantity.
Annoyance by means of sounds offensive by means of their
quality independent of their quantity is not very apt to be inflicted
without intention: without intention, having, for its end in
view, the production of such an effect. If inflicted in pursuance
of any such intention, it might, perhaps, be considered as forming
the matter of a legally punishable injury: at any rate, any
warning to abstain from the practice can be no better than
superfluous and useless.<
3. By the principle of association, a sound by which applications
any sound the effect of which is to call up and place in
the mind the idea of an application offensive to any other sense,
such as for example the sense of smell, becomes thereby itself
noisome
