Woman who was stopped from busking by a man complaining about the ‘painful’ sound divides opinion

A busker has sparked a heated debate after revealing a passerby stopped her to complain about the ‘painful’ volume of her singing.

Posting under the handle @ccharlimason on TikTok, Charli shared footage of a man stopping her from performing on the streets of London to argue that the volume was unsuitable for those who are sensitive to noise.

The 21-year-old appeared calm throughout the interaction as she told the ‘angry’ man that the council had already visited the area and didn’t ask her to turn down the volume.

Many responses to the clip praised Charli’s reaction to the man and encouraged her to continue busking, however others claimed he was right to complain as street performers are often ‘too loud’.
