Moreno Valley's noise ordinance caps nonimpulsive sound at the property line and, unlike Riverside County, expressly regulates air conditioning and continuously operating equipment. Municipal Code Section 11.80.030 limits residential-source sound to 60 dB(A) daytime and 55 dB(A) nighttime, measured 200 feet from the property line.
Moreno Valley's Noise Regulation ordinance, Municipal Code Chapter 11.80 (Ordinance 740), makes it unlawful to create nonimpulsive sound exceeding Table 11.80.030-2 when measured 200 feet or more from the source's real property line. The caps by source land use are: residential 60 dB(A) daytime (7 a.m.-10 p.m.), 55 dB(A) nighttime (10 p.m.-7 a.m.); commercial 65 dB(A) daytime, 60 dB(A) nighttime. The table sets no industrial figure, so an industrial data center answers to the noise-disturbance standard. Critically, Section 11.80.030(D)(10) bars any air conditioning, air-handling, pump, or continuously operating equipment that creates a noise disturbance - the county exempts such HVAC equipment.
Nonimpulsive noise over the Section 11.80.030 limits, or HVAC and continuously operating equipment causing a noise disturbance, is a misdemeanor the city may cite as an infraction or public nuisance.
