Unincorporated Weld County sets numeric dB(A) limits: 55 (day)/50 (night) for residential and commercial property, and 80/75 for industrial and construction. Any level above these at that time is prohibited. Greeley uses a plainly-audible standard instead.
Weld County Code Sec. 14-9-40 establishes maximum sound levels in dB(A): Residential Property or Commercial Area, 55 dB(A) from 7 a.m.-9 p.m. and 50 dB(A) from 9 p.m.-7 a.m.; Industrial Area or Construction Activities, 80/75 dB(A); Nonspecified Areas, 55/50 dB(A). A 10 dB, 15-minute-per-hour allowance applies at night. Measurements follow Sec. 14-9-50 (25 feet from a public source, or at the complainant's property boundary). Greeley generally does not use decibels except for mechanical or industrial noise, relying on whether sound is plainly audible past the property line.
Exceeding the Sec. 14-9-40 limits is a Class II petty offense with escalating fines of $30, $60 and $300 plus a $10 surcharge.
