Industrial and commercial noise in Galloway is capped by New Jersey's N.J.A.C. 7:29 standard — 65 dBA at a residential property line during the day and 50 dBA at night — which the Township enforces alongside Chapter 253's disturbing-noise prohibitions.
New Jersey's DEP Noise Control rule (N.J.A.C. 7:29) directly governs industrial, commercial and community-service facilities: sound received at a residential property line may not exceed 65 dBA (7 a.m.–10 p.m.) or 50 dBA (10 p.m.–7 a.m.), with octave-band limits and an 80 dBA impulsive-peak cap. Galloway Township enforces these limits together with Chapter 253's general prohibition on loud, disturbing and unnecessary noise. Facility siting and buffering are further shaped by the Township's Land Development/Zoning ordinance under the Municipal Land Use Law.
N.J.A.C. 7:29 violations can draw NJDEP administrative penalties; local Chapter 253 enforcement adds fines up to $2,000, up to 90 days jail and/or community service per offense.
