Davis County sets no countywide industrial-noise decibel limit; cities regulate it plus zoning. Bountiful City Code 8-7-102 makes operating commercial power equipment over five horsepower unlawful between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., and 8-7-101 bans unreasonably loud noise disturbing residents at any time.
Industrial and commercial noise in Davis County is controlled mainly through city noise ordinances and zoning separation rather than a county decibel standard. Bountiful City Code 8-7-101 makes it unlawful to intentionally disturb the quiet, comfort or repose of any person in their dwelling by making unreasonably loud noises that would disturb a person of average and reasonable sensitivities. Code 8-7-102 additionally bars loading operations and operating commercial power equipment in excess of five horsepower between 11:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Facilities in the unincorporated county fall under general nuisance abatement and county land-use zoning. Businesses should keep loud operations to daytime and buffer equipment from nearby homes.
City nuisance/noise citation; overnight power-equipment operation over 5 hp prohibited in Bountiful.
