Amplified music rules in Weld County, CO — also called sound permit, PA system, or live music ordinances — set decibel limits, time-of-day restrictions, and when permits are required.
Greeley limits loudspeakers and sound-amplifying equipment to 7 a.m.-10 p.m., and bans outdoor amplified sound outside those hours. Unincorporated Weld County treats amplified devices under its general 50-55 dB(A) limits.
Greeley Municipal Code Sec. 12-359 allows commercial and noncommercial sound-amplifying equipment only between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. (commercial use on Sundays and legal holidays only 10 a.m.-4 p.m.), and Sec. 12-360 makes it a violation to operate amplified equipment out of doors outside 7 a.m.-10 p.m. or where indoor sound is plainly audible beyond the property line. A police permit is required for loudspeakers in most districts. In unincorporated Weld County, amplified sound-producing devices fall under the general Sec. 14-9-40 limits, 55 dB(A) by day and 50 dB(A) at night at a residential boundary.
