Subject: A different law...

"Operating or using in or near a campsite, developed
recreation
site, or over an adjacent body of water without a permit,
any device
which produces noise, such as a radio, television,
musical instrument,
motor or engine in such a manner and at such a time so as to
unreasonably disturb any person." [is bad...]

Better watch out playin' yer harps whilst camping.. unless
you have a permit... Unless we could show that a harp is
not, in fact, a musical instrument (too cheap and
disrespected).. or a device that produces noise (only
produces music).. but no reasonable person should be
disturbed by harp sounds anyway...

I searched quite a bit the Texas statutes and Federal code
(as is the above), and came up empty.

Which don't prove there's no law.

This is a quandry.. 'tis impossible to prove there is no law
'cause there's no way to know about all laws. One need only
find the 1 example that proves there's a law.. but I
couldn't. It's odd, because very general searches on things
like music, musical instrument, cannot be returned,
merchandise return, health considerations, etc etc don't
turn up zillions of law hits, and the ones that are found
aren't relevant.

Stores do appear to have the right to prohibit return of any
merchandise that is clearly so-marked. There doesn't have
to be a specific law enabling that right. (There are rules
and regs on how the merchandise must be marked, or where the
signs must be, etc.)

Gee.. which way to hope... No law so could potentially
try-before-buy? But then, would I want to..?
