Orland Park's Village Code primarily uses a 'plainly audible' standard rather than numeric decibel limits for residential noise. For commercial and industrial sources, the Illinois Pollution Control Board's numeric octave-band limits under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 901 apply at the receiving property line.
Most Village-level noise enforcement in Orland Park relies on a plainly-audible reasonableness test rather than handheld decibel meter readings, which simplifies enforcement for residential complaints. For stationary commercial and industrial sources, the Illinois Pollution Control Board (IPCB) applies numeric octave-band sound pressure limits under 35 Ill. Adm. Code 901, with daytime limits typically allowing about 55β62 dBA at residential property lines and nighttime limits about 10 dBA stricter. Police officers responding to complaints at the Orland Park Police Department do not generally carry calibrated sound level meters; serious or chronic numeric violations should be reported to the Illinois EPA. Special event permits issued by the Village may include specific dB conditions for outdoor concerts.
Village citations using the plainly-audible standard carry fines of $75 to $750 per occurrence. State IPCB violations may result in additional enforcement actions, including civil penalties through the Illinois Attorney General.
