Macomb County sets no countywide decibel limits. Numeric dB(A) standards are adopted by individual townships and cities. Macomb Township caps residential noise at 60 dB(A) daytime and 45 dB(A) overnight.
There is no single Macomb County decibel standard; measurable dB(A) limits are set by local codes. Macomb Township's Noise Control ordinance (Sec. 11-43, Table III-1) uses A-weighted limits measured at the neighboring property line: residential zones allow 60 dB(A) from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., 55 dB(A) until 9:00 p.m., and 45 dB(A) overnight; commercial, industrial, and park uses allow 65 dB(A) daytime and 45 dB(A) after 9:00 p.m. Measurements must follow ANSI standards with a calibrated, A-weighted meter. Where ambient noise already exceeds the limit, the standard is the background level. Other Macomb County communities set their own numbers, so confirm the applicable dB(A) figure with your local code.
Enforcement and fines are set by the local municipality; exceeding the adopted dB(A) limit, verified with a calibrated meter, is a civil infraction or misdemeanor under the city or township code.
