Outdoor music in Galloway Township is governed by Chapter 253's ban on sound devices that disturb the peace, quiet and comfort of neighbors, backed by New Jersey's 65 dBA daytime and 50 dBA nighttime residential-line limits under N.J.A.C. 7:29.
Galloway has no separate outdoor-music ordinance; backyard speakers, patio parties and yard concerts are handled under the Chapter 253 sound-device provision, which prohibits operating any radio, stereo, phonograph or similar device so as to disturb neighbors. After 10:00 p.m. the enforceable state limit tightens to 50 dBA at a residential property line. Amplified events on commercial or public property may additionally require Township approval; residents should check with Code Enforcement for event-specific permits.
Disturbing outdoor music violates Chapter 253: fine up to $2,000, up to 90 days jail and/or community service; each day of violation is a separate offense.
