Weld County's noise ordinance does not regulate aircraft. Sec. 14-9-60(C) exempts noise from operating aircraft and other federally preempted activities. Aircraft and crop-duster noise is controlled by the FAA, not the county or Greeley.
Weld County Code Sec. 14-9-60(C) exempts any noise made during the operation of aircraft or other activities preempted by federal law. Because federal law (the FAA and the Noise Control Act) governs aircraft operations and airspace, neither Weld County nor Greeley can set aircraft noise limits. The county's definitions also treat crop-dusting airplanes as exempt agricultural equipment, reflecting Weld's farming economy. Complaints about low-flying or excessive aircraft noise should go to the FAA or the operating airport rather than local code enforcement.
Not enforceable locally; aircraft noise is exempt. Direct complaints to the FAA or the airport.
