Coral Springs, FL Noise Ordinances: Amplified Music & Outdoor Sound (2026)

Section 11-11(a) declares a list of specific acts to be noise disturbances outright, and states plainly that no sound-level measurement is needed to prove any of them occurred; the acts are disturbances by their nature once the 'loud and raucous' standard is met. Item (2) targets personal and household audio: operating or permitting the operation of a radio, musical instrument, television, stereo, car or truck stereo, drum, CD or tape player, exterior loudspeaker, or any other sound-reproduction device in a loud and raucous manner that disturbs the peace, quiet or comfort of the adjacent neighborhood.

Item (3) separately targets public address equipment: using or operating, or permitting the use or operation of, any loudspeaker or public address system so it emits loud or raucous noise disturbing the peace, health, quiet or comfort of the neighborhood or vicinity. m. The chapter's stated intent under Section 11-9 is balancing noise control against factors like time of day, proximity to residences and the necessity of sounds tied to allowed activities. Chapter 11's noise article also sets numeric sound-level limits by zoning designation in Section 11-14's Table 1, but items (2) and (3) do not require hitting a decibel number; a police officer's judgment that the sound is loud and raucous enough to disturb a neighbor is sufficient on its own.
