Constructing, demolishing, altering, or repairing a building, street, sidewalk, driveway, sewer, or utility line is prohibited between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Sounds from air, electrical, or gas-driven domestic tools, including lawn and construction tools, are generally permitted between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m.

Using or operating a mechanical or electrical speaker or amplifier that creates noise plainly audible at the property line of a residence or noise-sensitive unit (other than the property where generated) is prohibited between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Noise Variance Permits can be obtained for events that may exceed noise levels or time limits.

No specific decibel limits for animals are mentioned, but general prohibitions against 'unnecessarily loud' noise apply. Animal control can be reached via the non-emergency police number.

Prohibited acts include the excessive sounding of horns (except as danger signals), operation of gongs or sirens (except emergency vehicles during parades), use of vehicles out of repair/without legal exhaust or creating unnecessarily loud noise at 50 feet, or unnecessarily loud vehicle use outside public rights-of-way. The use of exhaust brakes (jake brakes) is prohibited at all times, except in emergencies or for emergency services vehicles with muffled systems.
