JAKARTA - A city in New Zealand petitioned to stop Celine Dion's "sound Battles" after drivers went crazy singing the diva's ballad song at 2 a.m.

Residents in the city of Porirua, New Zealand petitioned to stop the noise from continuing into the early hours of the morning.

Participants from the'sound Battles' claim that their meeting and singing Celine Dion's hits like My Heart Will Go On, the main single of 1997 filmulars, is their way of expressing themselves.

Voting is usually carried out by a group of people gathered in a certain area with their cars to sound the music from sirens that are usually used for emergency warnings.

The purpose of this meeting was to play music from sirens in the loudest and clearest way (according to the BBC).

Celine Dion's ballad song is the number one choice for this fight because the music has high trends.

Celine Dion is popular because the song is clear, so we tried to use music that has high trebles, clear, and doesn't have much bass, "said Paul Lesoa, one of the group's founders who held a siren fight in Auckland, to The Melting.

Lesoa then explained how stigma surrounding voice fights was unfair and claimed that this was their hobby just like any other hobby. He also said they had applied for permission to Auckland's board but had not received a response.

"We love music, we love dancing, and doing this is better than going to nightclubs or drinking at bars in the city, where there are fights and so on," he told the publication.

"Basically everyone has a hobby and even though our hobby can be very disturbing and we understand how annoying it is, we just want a decent and safe place, away from other people, to do that."

Wes Gaarkeuken a petitioner who aims to stop the dispute going on claims that taxpayers are excited with the indiscrimination and belittle attitude shown by the council and mayors on the matter.

The petition has collected hundreds of signatures calling on the Poriua City Council to stop Celine Dion's vocal complaints equipped with sirens so as not to disturb its occupants throughout the night.

The city council previously reached an agreement with siren fighters by giving them the opportunity to have a meeting in the industrial area and finish at 10 p.m., but they returned to the city.

According to RNZ, there were more than 40 police reports about the vocal complaint incident this year.
