Gilbert regulates industrial and commercial noise through Chapter 42. Commercial and industrial zones not within 500 feet of residential have hours of 5 AM to 10 PM, with noise not to be excessive at any time.
Gilbert's noise ordinance addresses commercial and industrial noise with location-based standards. Construction and industrial work in commercial zones not within 500 feet of a residential zone may operate from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM. Operations within 500 feet of residential zones face the more restrictive residential schedule. Beyond construction noise, ongoing industrial operations must not create unreasonably loud or offensive noise. The town's Code Compliance division investigates persistent commercial noise complaints. Zoning buffers between industrial and residential districts help minimize conflicts.
Industrial noise violations during restricted hours are enforced under Chapter 42. Persistent excessive noise may also trigger zoning enforcement actions.
