Inglewood Municipal Code Chapter 5, Article 2 (Noise Regulations) governs amplified sound throughout the city. Section 5-29 prohibits loud music or noise that disturbs the peace and quiet of neighbors. Sound amplifying equipment requires registration with the city, specifying maximum sound-producing power including wattage, volume in decibels, and the approximate distance for which sound will be audible. The nearly 80,000-seat SoFi Stadium on the Hollywood Park campus is exempt from the city's noise ordinance under the Inglewood Municipal Code for sporting events and up to 12 additional events per year. This exemption became notable during the 2024 HARD Summer music festival when outdoor stages generated complaints from surrounding communities including El Segundo. For non-exempt venues and private property, amplified sound must comply with noise level limits established in Sections 5-30 and 5-31. Violations constitute a misdemeanor.
Misdemeanor. Fines and/or imprisonment. Equipment may be ordered shut down. Exempted venues (SoFi) not subject to noise citations for qualifying events.
