Dayton, OH Noise from Specific Sources: Delivery Truck Noise (2026)

Dayton R.C.G.O. § 94.05(I), one of the noise pollution chapter's enumerated 'unnecessary noises,' prohibits creating loud and excessive noise in connection with loading or unloading any vehicle, or with opening and destroying bales, boxes, crates, and containers. It doesn't single out delivery trucks by name, but it directly reaches the clatter of dock plates, hand trucks, and crate-breaking that comes with commercial deliveries anywhere in the city. There's no time-of-day carve-out in the text, so the ban applies around the clock, not just at night.
