Genesee County sets no industrial-noise standard; municipalities do through zoning and noise ordinances. Flint caps continuous noise in industrial areas at 70 dB(A) daytime and 65 dB(A) nighttime at the receiving property line.
Industrial noise in Genesee County is controlled through local zoning and noise ordinances rather than a county rule. Flint applies land-use-based decibel ceilings measured at the receiving boundary. For continuous noise, industrial receiving areas are capped at 70 dB(A) day and 65 dB(A) night; commercial and residential receiving areas get progressively lower limits, so a plant near homes must meet the stricter residential-boundary figure. Flint also sets impulsive, intermittent and perpetual tables. Townships regulate industrial use through the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act. Facilities may additionally face state EGLE air/noise conditions. Check the ordinance for the municipality where the source and the affected property sit.
Local enforcement at the property line. Exceeding Flint's industrial sound tables is a code violation subject to fines up to $1,500 or 90 days' jail.
