"Henderson's ordinance primarily uses a 'unreasonably loud or raucous noise' standard. Chapter 15.56 outlines Noise Level Reduction Standards (NLR) for building construction in airport environs, specifying minimum interior noise level reduction requirements (e.g., 25, 30, 35 decibels NLR) rather than ambient decibel limits for general areas."
