Henderson uses a hybrid decibel and plainly audible standard under HMC 8.38. Typical caps are 55 dBA residential day, 50 dBA night, higher in commercial and industrial zones.
Henderson Municipal Code Title 8 Chapter 8.38 establishes measurable dBA limits at the property line of the receiving zone. Residential zones are typically capped near 55 dBA during the day (7 AM to 10 PM) and 50 dBA at night (10 PM to 7 AM). Commercial zones allow around 65 dBA, and industrial zones around 75 dBA. Measurements are taken with an ANSI Type 2 sound level meter on the A-weighted scale. Impulsive sounds (hammering, shots) and pure tones are typically penalized by 5 dBA. Enforcement combines the dBA measurement with the plainly audible at 50 feet standard used by patrol officers. HOA CC and R decibel caps may be stricter than city standards.
