Davis street piano hours?

The Davis street piano has a laminated paper sign saying you can play it from 9 am to 9 pm.

Is that an official rule, or did some random person make the sign? There are no hours listed here, even though other listings do have time restrictions.

Having some limit does make sense, since people live above Tedeschi's, etc. But 9 pm is ridiculous. I think a more reasonable end time for such a busy location would be 11 pm or midnight. What does the city noise ordinance say about street musicians and other noise at night?

I'd like to express how great this program of having these pianos is and how much I appreciate the people whose efforts have made it possible. Really enjoyed date night with my wife wandering about Davis Square and running into people doing impromptu performances and watching the strangers gather around them to cheer.
