New Jersey's statewide decibel limits apply in Burlington County: at a residential property line, facility sound may not exceed 65 dBA daytime (7 a.m.–10 p.m.) or 50 dBA nighttime (10 p.m.–7 a.m.) under N.J.A.C. 7:29-1.2.
New Jersey sets uniform noise decibel limits via the Noise Control Act (N.J.A.C. 7:29-1.2), which municipalities in Burlington County adopt and enforce; the county itself sets no separate decibel standard. The rule prohibits any industrial, commercial, or community-service facility from producing, at a residential property line, continuous sound above 65 dBA during the day or 50 dBA at night, plus octave-band limits. Impulsive sound is capped at 80 dBA and, at night, may not repeat more than four times per hour. These A-weighted limits are the baseline townships apply when measuring noise complaints from businesses.
NJ DEP and delegated municipal officers enforce N.J.A.C. 7:29; penalties follow the Noise Control Act and local ordinance schedules.
