Peoria's noise ordinance (Section 13-92) prohibits unreasonably loud noise. Any noise audible more than 50 feet from the source is presumed unreasonably loud. Section 13-91 regulates construction noise with specific hour restrictions. Industrial uses must not create noise disturbances beyond their property. Zoning buffers help separate industrial and residential areas.
Industrial noise in Peoria is regulated through Section 13-92 (general noise prohibitions) and the zoning ordinance. Any noise audible more than 50 feet from the source is presumed unreasonably loud or raucous. Industrial operations must contain noise to acceptable levels. Zoning buffers between industrial and residential districts include landscaping and wall requirements. Peoria's industrial areas are primarily along Bell Road and Loop 303 corridors. Section 13-102 establishes noise enforcement procedures. The police department handles active complaints while Code Compliance addresses ongoing issues.
Noise exceeding the 50-foot audibility threshold may result in citations. Persistent industrial noise may trigger zoning enforcement.
