A Noise Ordinance is a law that regulates the amount of sound people are allowed to make in a certain area or at a certain time. Noise ordinances are designed to reduce noise pollution and promote peace and safety in a community. There are two main types of noise ordinances: sound-level-based ordinances and activity-based ordinances. Sound-level-based ordinances limit the maximum sound level that can be generated within a certain area or at a certain time, while activity-based ordinances limit the activities that can generate noise. Noise ordinances may include restrictions on loud music, vehicle sounds, construction noise, and other sources of excessive noise. Additionally, some ordinances may include “quiet hours” during which noise must be kept to a minimum.
