Orlando, FL
Noise Code

Temporary construction and maintenance activities are exempt from noise regulations between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., except on Sundays and federal holidays.

Outdoor use of loudspeakers or sound amplification devices on public or private property is prohibited between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m.. In residential areas, sound plainly audible at 15 feet from the property line between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. is prima facie evidence of a violation. A permit is required for outdoor amplified sound, with specific exemptions and extended hours (7:00 p.m. - 12:00 a.m. weekdays, 7:00 p.m. - 2:00 a.m. weekends) within the Downtown Entertainment Area. Amplified sound is also unlawful outdoors within 1,000 feet of schools, places of worship, hospitals, courts, or public transportation facilities during normal business hours without permission.

Unreasonably disturbing noise detrimental to comfort and repose is prohibited, which can include animal noise. Orange County Animal Services handles dog and cat-related ordinance violations.

Motor vehicles (automobiles, trucks, airplanes, motorcycles, railroads) are generally regulated by state and federal law and are exempt from Chapter 42. However, it is unlawful to create unreasonably disturbing noise from car sound amplification devices or handheld mobile electronic devices if it is detrimental to the comfort of individuals of ordinary sensibilities.
