Troy, MI Noise from Specific Sources: Delivery Truck Noise (2026)

" Unlike the construction-noise subsection that sits two lines above it, subsection (i) carries no defined time window and no permit exception: the standard is simply whether the noise from the loading or unloading activity is "loud and excessive," which can apply at any hour a delivery truck, forklift or stock crew generates it. That makes it the operative rule for a business receiving early-morning or late-night deliveries whose dock noise, pallet jacks, crate-breaking or truck idling disturbs nearby residents or other tenants. 5, so it is enforced identically to the Chapter's other noise categories: on a complaint basis by the Troy Police Department, which can cite the business, driver or crew responsible.

Because it is a Code nuisance provision rather than a licensing condition, a violation does not require a prior warning or a pattern of repeat complaints the way some administrative enforcement schemes do; a single loud incident meeting the "loud and excessive" standard is enough to support a citation.
