Middlesex County has no county decibel ordinance, but its Environmental Health Division is a NJDEP-authorized CEHA agency that enforces the NJ State Noise Pollution Code, N.J.A.C. 7:29, which caps continuous sound at 65 dBA daytime and 50 dBA at night (10 p.m. to 7 a.m.) at a receptor.
Middlesex County does not adopt its own decibel table, but it plays a real enforcement role: the county Environmental Health Division is authorized under the County Environmental Health Act (CEHA) to enforce the New Jersey State Noise Pollution Code, N.J.A.C. 7:29, against stationary commercial and industrial sources within the county. The state code establishes sound-level standards of 50 decibels during nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.) and 65 decibels during daytime, measured at the property line of a receiving residential property. These dBA limits do not apply to ordinary residential conduct (that is left to municipal noise ordinances) but to fixed commercial, industrial, and public-service noise sources. Municipal noise ordinances built on the NJDEP model incorporate the same 65/50 dBA
Violations of N.J.A.C. 7:29 by commercial or industrial sources are enforced by the county Environmental Health Division as a CEHA-delegated agency, which can issue notices of violation and penalties under the state noise code and refer matters to NJDEP. Municipal
