The City of Holland's noise code uses a plainly-audible standard, not a general residential decibel limit. The only numeric figure is 50 decibels for approved firing ranges; statewide vehicle decibel limits come from MCL 257.707c.
Ottawa County sets no decibel ordinance, and the City of Holland does not impose a general residential dB cap. Instead, Section 19-5 uses plainly-audible triggers, such as sound audible 25 feet from a sound device. The one numeric decibel figure in Holland's code is Section 19-5(11), which limits firearm discharge within an approved firing range to 50 decibels measured at the property line. For vehicles, Michigan's MCL 257.707c sets statewide dBA limits measured 50 feet from the vehicle. Townships may adopt their own numeric limits, so verify locally.
Exceeding the firing-range 50-decibel limit or the audibility standards is a Class I municipal civil infraction in Holland under Section 19-14, with fines per Section 2-118.
