Summary: Jersey City's noise ordinance, primarily Chapter 222 of its Code, prohibits excessive noise that disturbs public health, welfare, safety, and peace. Residential areas have a 65 dBA daytime limit, with stricter restrictions preventing plainly audible noise between 10 PM and 7 AM. The Office of Code Compliance and the Police Department's Quality of Life taskforce enforce these regulations.
