Compton Municipal Code Chapter 7 prohibits loud or unreasonable noise from amplified sound, music, and loudspeakers that disturbs the peace and quiet of neighbors, particularly during nighttime hours.
Under Compton Municipal Code Chapter 7 (Police Regulations), the use of loudspeakers, amplified music, radios, television sets, or other sound-producing devices that create unreasonable noise disturbing the peace of neighboring residents is prohibited. Nighttime disturbances (typically 10 PM-7 AM) receive stricter enforcement. The city operates under both its municipal code and the supplemental LA County noise ordinance (Chapter 12.08), which sets specific dBA limits for unincorporated areas and may be referenced for enforcement guidance. Party noise, outdoor events, and commercial amplified sound are common enforcement targets.
Violations are misdemeanors under Chapter 7. Fines up to $1,000 and/or six months jail. Police may issue immediate citations.
