Full Breakdown
Section 22-22(a) of Kissimmee's Noise Control Ordinance defines the article's scope, and it names noise "emitted by speaker boxes, pick-up and delivery trucks and any other commercial or industrial activities" under a business's control as covered noise. That noise is subject to the Table 1 decibel caps in Sec. 22-24, 70 dBA by day and 65 dBA at night for commercial and office land, measured 50 feet from the property line, and can't exceed those levels for a cumulative minute or more in any 15-minute period. The separate exemption in Sec. 22-22(b)(2) covers only vehicle noise itself regulated by state and federal law, not loading or delivery operations at a site.

Cited as a noncriminal infraction under Sec. 22-26 by Code Enforcement or KPD; 30 days to contest or pay before a late penalty and collections referral, plus possible $100 hearing costs.
