The Town of Sims would like to report the loud noises from the 'propane poppers’, just outside the town limits, has continued to be a concern for its residents. Not only are these explosions occurring during the daytime, but they also persist throughout the night. As you may recall, the local farmers have been using small propane explosions to frighten and confuse wildlife that is threatening their crops.

While the Town of Sims does have a noise ordinance, these locations are all outside of the town limits. However, Wilson County also has a noise ordinance that encompasses the nighttime explosions.

The Wilson County Sheriff’s Office has recommended that should anyone feel that their peace is being disturbed after 11pm, due to the explosions, call 911 to report the incident.
