RBMC 4-24.301 sets exterior dBA limits by land-use zone: low-density residential 50 dBA day / 45 night, rising through commercial (65/60) to industrial (up to 70 dBA), with day 7 a.m.-10 p.m.
RBMC 4-24.301 sets maximum exterior noise levels by land-use category, measured at the receiving property. Low-density residential (R-1) is 50 dBA daytime (7:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m.) and 45 dBA nighttime (10:00 p.m.-7:00 a.m.); medium-density 55/50; high-density 60/55; commercial 65/60; and industrial zones 65-70 dBA. Limits ratchet up for shorter exposures (e.g., +5 dB for 15 minutes, +20 dB instantly per 4-24.301(a)), and tonal or repetitive noise drops the limit 5 dB. Interior dwelling limits under 4-24.401 are 45 dBA daytime and 40 dBA at night. Measurements use an A-weighted meter (4-24.201).
Exceeding a zone's dBA limit is prima facie evidence of a violation (4-24.801), enforced by abatement orders, notices of violation, and nuisance injunctions.
