Deer Park Code Chapter 74 prohibits unreasonably loud amplified music and sound that disturbs neighbors. Sound from loudspeakers, PA systems, live bands, and entertainment equipment audible beyond the property boundary may constitute a violation. Special event permits are available through the city.
