Chandler regulates industrial and commercial noise through the general noise ordinance in Chapter 11. Businesses must operate within normal hours and avoid creating unreasonably loud conditions affecting nearby residents.
Chandler's noise ordinance permits commercial and industrial noise during normal and customary business hours when operations are legally conducted within the scope of all city ordinances. However, industrial noise that is excessive, disturbing, or unreasonably loud remains prohibited regardless of operating hours. The city's Neighborhood Preservation division investigates commercial noise complaints that affect residential areas. Chandler's strong technology and manufacturing sector means industrial noise management is important, with zoning buffers between industrial and residential districts.
Industrial noise violations are misdemeanors under Chandler's code. Persistent violations may also trigger zoning enforcement actions and operational restrictions.
