Amplified music rules in Glen Cove, NY — also called sound permit, PA system, or live music ordinances — set decibel limits, time-of-day restrictions, and when permits are required.
Chapter 196 prohibits operating instruments, phonographs, radios, televisions, machines or other devices for sound production between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. on weekdays and 11:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m. on weekends and holidays.
Section 196-4 specifically lists sound-amplification devices operated 'in such a manner as to disturb the peace, quiet or comfort of neighboring inhabitants' as an unreasonable noise. Vehicle sound systems audible at 50 feet or more are also enumerated. Outdoor concerts, weddings and similar events that include amplified music after the quiet-hours start time require a permit from the Mayor's Office or under the special-event provisions; routine backyard parties get no automatic exemption. Article III sets supplemental maximum-permitted sound-level provisions when applicable.
Penalties under § 1-15 - fines up to $1,000 and/or 15 days per offense.
