No Noise is Good News!
If you've complained about noise, rest assured the City is listening. This fall, the City is enacting a new noise ordinance aimed at drowning out noise disturbances with a healthy dose of silence. And for many residents, that's golden.
Whether its "ambient sound," "amplified sound," "continuous sound," or "impulsive sound," you'll find relief in one of the City's newest quality of life initiatives.
The new ordinance focuses primarily on late night and early morning disturbances near residential areas. Noise restrictions from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. include construction equipment, sanitation operations, landscaping tools, revved-up motorcycles, constantly "vocalizing" animals and unreasonable volume at entertainment venues.
Following citizen concerns and recommendations from a professional noise-consulting firm, the City determined that more specific restrictions for noise control were needed.
Under the ordinance, outside noise levels above 50 decibels are generally prohibited in residential areas during the overnight hours. A few exemptions are available, with Commission approval, for situations such as emergency repairs and large public works projects.
Noise control officers will investigate and pursue violations of the ordinance.
To report noise violations, please call the 24-Hour Customer Service Center at 954-828-8000.
