11 Chapter 8.16 NOISE CONTROL Declaration of policy. In accordance with the Atherton General Plan, which seeks to maintain Atherton as a rural residential area, it is the policy of the town to protect the peace, health and safety of its citizens from unnecessary and unreasonable noise produced by any person, machine, animal or device. (Ord (part), 1999) Definitions. As used in this chapter: A. A-weighted sound level is the sound level in decibels as measured on a sound level meter using the A-weighting network. The level so read is designated db(a) or dba. B. Ambient is the composite of noise from all sources near and far. In this context, the ambient noise level constitutes the normal or existing level of environmental noise at a given location. C. Construction means the act or process of building including but not limited to site preparation, alteration, repair, remodeling, assembly, erection or similar action, of buildings, structures, pavement, flat work and other works including the use of power equipment in connection with activities therewith. Construction activities do not include radios or other forms of amplified music on a construction site. D. Delivery means delivery of building materials or equipment to any construction project. E. Emergency means an unforeseen combination of circumstances which require immediate action. F. Noise disturbance means any source of sound which exceeds the noise limitations permitted in Section of this chapter. For purposes of this section sources of sound shall include but not be limited to the following: amplified music, loudspeakers, radios, televisions, stereos, musical instruments, powered toys or models, swimming pools or spas, pile drivers, air compressors, paint sprayers, motors, pumps, blowers, air conditioners, cooling towers, ventilating fans, fork lifts, loaders, tractors, animals, concerts, mechanical equipment, human voices, electrical appliances, vacuum cleaners, powered equipment, chain saws, motor vehicles and attached equipment not operated on a street or highway. G. Noise level means the maximum continuous sound level or repetitive peak level measured using the A scale set on slow. H. Precision sound level meter means a device for measuring sound pressure level in decibel units according to the American National Standards Institute Type 1 or Type 2 measuring instruments. I. Sound level shall be expressed in decibels (dba) as defined by the American National Standards Institute using the A-level scale. J. Vehicle means any device by which any person or property may be propelled, moved or drawn upon a highway or street or private property. (Ord (part), 1999)

12 Basic noise regulation. Except as otherwise permitted under this chapter, no person shall cause and no property owner shall permit on such owners property, a noise produced by any person, machine, animal or device, or any combination thereof, in excess of the sound level limits set forth in this section to emanate from any property, public or private, beyond the property line. Any sound in excess of the sound level limits set forth in this section shall constitute a noise disturbance. For purposes of determining sound levels, sound level measurements shall be made at any location on the receiving property. Sound Level Limits 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. 60 dba 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. 50 dba A. In the event the alleged offensive noise contains a steady, audible tone, such as a whine, beating, pulsating, throbbing, or hum, the standards set forth in Section shall be reduced by five db. B. In the event the ambient sound level equals or exceeds the sound level limit then the limit shall be five dba over the ambient. (Ord (part), 1999) Noise disturbance prohibited. A. Any and all excessively annoying, loud or unusual noises or vibrations such as offend the peace and quiet of persons of ordinary sensibilities and which interfere with the comfortable enjoyment of life or property and affect at the same time an entire neighborhood or any considerable number of persons shall be considered a noise disturbance. B. It shall be unlawful to create, permit, allow, or maintain a noise disturbance in the town of Atherton. (Ord (part), 1999) Special provisions and exceptions. The basic noise regulation specified in Section may be exceeded without permit in any instances listed below. At all other times, noise from illicit activities shall not exceed the basic noise regulation established in Section : A. Construction. 1. Construction and delivery are exempt from the basic noise regulation during the times and on the days when construction activities are allowed pursuant to the terms and provisions of Chapter Residents/property owners when personally operating equipment are exempt from the basic noise regulation when they are personally undertaking construction activities to maintain or improve their

13 property on Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays between the hours of ten a.m. and five p.m. Such activities are restricted to the use of hand and power tools only. 3. At all times loud and raucous noise emanating from any construction or delivery site, whether in the form of broadcast or amplified music or any other form, which is audible on any property other than the property from which it emanates, is prohibited. B. Power Garden Equipment. 1. Power garden equipment including but not limited to, leaf-blowers, vacuums, power mowers, rototillers, and other similar equipment are exempt from the basic noise regulation between the hours of eight a.m. and six p.m. Monday through Friday, ten a.m. and five p.m. on Saturday and ten a.m. and three p.m. on Sunday. 2. Heavy duty equipment including but not limited to wood-chippers, chain-saws, stump-removers and other similar equipment are exempt from the basic noise regulation between the hours of eight a.m. and five p.m. Monday through Friday only. 3. All garden, maintenance and construction equipment used in the town must be equipped with a muffler where applicable and be in good repair. C. Motor Vehicles. Motor vehicles may be operated on public streets and highways within the town in accordance with the noise emission standards prescribed by the state Vehicle Code. It is the town s policy that all sworn personnel be trained in the enforcement of this section of the Vehicle Code. D. Social Gatherings. The noise from social gatherings may exceed the basic noise regulation between the hours of ten a.m. and midnight, Fridays and Saturdays, and ten a.m. and ten p.m. Sundays and holidays. The noise levels produced by such gatherings shall not exceed seventy-five dba when measured from any adjacent residential property. E. Animals. Sounds from animals are exempt unless such animal howls, barks, meows, squawks, or makes other noises continuously and/or incessantly for a period of five minutes or intermittently for one-half hour. F. Emergency and Safety Devices. The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to: 1. The emission of sound for the purpose of alerting persons to the existence of an emergency; 2. The emission of sound in the performance of emergency response; or 3. The emission of sound in connection with the protection of the health and safety of Atherton residents or their property during emergency conditions. Warning devices necessary for the protection of public safety, as for example, police, fire and ambulance sirens, and train horns, shall be exempted from the provisions of this chapter.

14 G. Little League Field at Holbrook-Palmer Park. The noise from practice and games at the Little League Field at Holbrook-Palmer Park may exceed the basic noise regulations during the Little League season between the hours of four-thirty p.m. to seven-thirty p.m. weekdays and eight forty-five a.m. to fourthirty p.m. Saturdays only. The noise levels produced by such games shall not exceed seventy-five dba when measured at any adjacent residential property. (Ord , 2000; Ord , 2000; Ord (part), 1999) Aircraft regulations.
