Compton Municipal Code Chapter 7 (Police Regulations) regulates noise within city limits. The city enforces noise standards based on the disturbance-to-neighbors standard, with specific provisions for residential and commercial zones.
Compton Municipal Code Chapter 7 (Police Regulations) establishes noise control provisions to safeguard public health, safety, welfare, and peace of citizens. The noise ordinance uses a reasonable person standard for determining violations, prohibiting noise that disturbs or interferes with the peace and quiet of neighbors. Commercial and manufacturing zones have separate standards. Equipment and machinery noise that unreasonably disturbs residents is prohibited. The city follows general California noise standards where specific local limits may not be codified, with the Los Angeles County noise ordinance (Chapter 12.08) providing supplemental enforcement framework.
Noise violations under Chapter 7 are misdemeanors punishable by fines up to $1,000 and/or up to six months in jail. Each day of violation constitutes a separate offense.
