Reduce the maximum decibel limit on fireworks from 120 to 90

Summary

We think the current noise limits were likely created based upon neurotypical healthy adults. The limit should take into account neurodiverse people and animals that have higher sensitivity to noise. We think that reducing the limit to 90 dB would reduce the stress and disruption caused by fireworks for many people and animals. There are many accounts from dog owners, cat owners and horse owners online about their animals being stressed out, some to the point of injuring themselves. Firework noise can also cause a lot of stress to war veterans or people with PTSD. Quieter fireworks could help minimise the stress the bangs cause. We think a simple change like this could bring relief to many people and animals from firework noise.
