No countywide outdoor-music rule exists; cities and townships regulate it. Flint bars using a loudspeaker or public-address system for noncommercial purposes at night if it creates a noise disturbance across a residential boundary.
Outdoor music, PA systems and loudspeakers are regulated municipally in Genesee County. Flint's ordinance (§ 31-72(b)(2)) prohibits using any loudspeaker, public-address system or similar device for noncommercial purposes during nighttime so the sound creates a noise disturbance across a residential boundary; commercial loudspeaker use is barred whenever it disturbs across a boundary or occurs at night in a public space. Street sales by shouting or outcry in residential or commercial areas are also prohibited without a permit (§ 31-72(b)(3)). For backyard parties, the general noise-disturbance prohibition (§ 31-72(a)) applies. Confirm event/amplification permit rules with your specific city or township.
Municipal penalty. Nighttime loudspeaker disturbances in Flint carry the noise-article fine of up to $1,500 or 90 days' jail.
