Dunedin Code Section 107-41.1 regulates industrial-scale noise, including machinery, manufacturing equipment, HVAC, ventilators, and blower equipment, capping sound at 65 dB(A) at the complainant's property line.
Dunedin's noise ordinance specifically addresses sounds from machinery, manufacturing equipment, air conditioners, heating units, ventilators, and blower equipment that operate at frequent or continuous periods and disturb persons of ordinary sensibilities. Industrial properties must ensure their equipment does not exceed 65 A-weighted decibels at the complainant's property line at any time. Internal combustion or steam engines must be equipped with a muffler equal to or better than the original equipment manufacturer's specifications. Industrial neighbors complaining of cumulative or pulse noise may pursue both nuisance and code-compliance remedies.
Code violations carry fines up to $500 per offense, with continued violations treated as separate daily offenses; chronic offenders face escalated enforcement.
