**Wetherspoons Bans Phone Music, Videos to Tackle Noise Complaints**
Pub giant JD Wetherspoon has announced a new policy prohibiting customers from playing music or videos from their phones within its establishments, effective immediately.
The move comes in response to a growing number of complaints from patrons about disruptive noise. A spokesperson for the chain confirmed the ban, stating it aims to address issues arising from “other people’s videos and amplified phone conversations.”
Wetherspoons, known for its affordable food and drink across hundreds of pubs nationwide, emphasized its commitment to creating a more enjoyable and quieter atmosphere for all customers. The policy extends beyond music to include any amplified audio from personal devices, reflecting a broader effort by hospitality venues to manage digital etiquette in shared public spaces.
