at any specified time;
(c) for restricting or altogether prohibiting the use, on the licensed
premises of any trader, of any gramophone, loudspeaker, or
other mechanical or electrical device for producing or reproducing sound, unless the sound produced by the gramophone, loudspeaker or other such device cannot be heard outside those

which, either on account of its volume or on account of the time
