Industrial and commercial noise in Middlesex County is regulated under the NJ State Noise Pollution Code, N.J.A.C. 7:29, enforced by the county Environmental Health Division as a CEHA-authorized agency. The code caps continuous sound at 65 dBA daytime and 50 dBA at night at a residential receptor.
Stationary commercial and industrial noise is the one noise area where Middlesex County has clear authority. The county Environmental Health Division is authorized by NJDEP under the County Environmental Health Act (CEHA) to enforce the New Jersey State Noise Pollution Code, N.J.A.C. 7:29, throughout participating municipalities in the county. The code applies to industrial, commercial, community-service, and public-service sound sources and sets continuous-sound limits of 65 dBA during the day and 50 dBA at night (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.), measured at the property line of a receiving residential use, with additional limits on impulsive and octave-band sound. Because these standards are the state code rather than a Middlesex-specific ordinance, they are uniform across CEHA jurisdictions. Residents affected by noise
N.J.A.C. 7:29 violations by industrial or commercial sources are enforced by the county Environmental Health Division under CEHA delegation. The division can conduct sound measurements, issue notices of violation, assess penalties under the state noise code, and refer persistent cases
