Turlock caps exterior noise at 50 dBA overnight and 60 dBA daytime at one- and two-family homes, 70 dBA on light industrial land, and 75 dBA on heavy industrial land. Municipal Code Section 5-28-108 sets the table.
Turlock Municipal Code Section 5-28-108(a) sets exterior noise limits that may not be exceeded more than thirty minutes in any hour, measured by receiving land use. One- and two-family residential is capped at 60 dBA from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and 50 dBA from 10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Multiple dwellings get 60 dBA day, 55 dBA night. All other commercial is 65 dBA day, 60 dBA night. Light industrial is 70 dBA any time, heavy industrial 75 dBA. Data-center chillers and generators run continuously, so the 50 dBA overnight residential floor is the binding limit near housing.
Noise above the Section 5-28-108 limits is a public nuisance under Section 5-28-102, enforced by the City's Noise Control Officer through sound-level measurement, abatement orders, and citation.
