The ageing rockers are deemed too loud

San Francisco residents have complained of noise from a concert - with one man suggesting the ageing rockers were too deaf to notice.

People living near SBC Park, where the band played two shows on November 13 and 15, spoke of windows and floors vibrating, reports the BBC.

City officials were considering the use of a sound meter to monitor levels at the stadium when the band returned for the November 15 show.

"Just because they're too old to hear their music doesn't mean [it] has to be so loud," said resident Ted Weinstein.

Officials from the Giants baseball team, which owns SBC Park, have said they will try to reduce the noise level.

The Rolling Stones’ tour continues when they hit Las Vegas on Friday (November 18). It’s scheduled to come to Europe in 2006.
