Menifee does not publish a single "quiet hours" clock-time table in its Municipal Code. Instead, late-night residential noise is policed through Menifee Municipal Code (MMC) Chapter 11.07 "Unruly or Loud Conduct," which makes it unlawful and a public nuisance to engage in—or to host a gathering involving—loud or unruly conduct that disturbs the peace. The General Plan Noise Element treats 65 dBA CNEL as the exterior compatibility threshold for residential land uses and 45 dBA CNEL as the interior standard (consistent with the California Building Code).
