Trinity County has no comprehensive noise ordinance and sets no countywide decibel limit. A data center's cooling and generators are controlled through nuisance and disturbing-the-peace provisions and the General Plan Noise Element, applied to new projects as CEQA and use-permit conditions.
Trinity County does not have a numeric countywide noise ordinance. The county addresses noise through nuisance and disturbing-the-peace provisions and targeted rules rather than a decibel table, so there is no fixed dB cap a data center must meet at the property line. For a new facility the control comes from discretionary review: the General Plan Noise Element treats 60 dB CNEL as the normally-acceptable exterior level for homes, and a data center's chillers, cooling fans, and generator testing would be studied under CEQA and conditioned in its use permit to protect nearby residences. Generators are generally expected to operate within daytime hours.
There is no numeric noise-ordinance penalty. A data center that exceeds its use-permit noise conditions faces permit enforcement — added mitigation, notices of violation, and possible permit revocation. Ongoing excess noise can also be pursued as a public nuisance.
