Burlington County does not regulate outdoor music; municipalities do. Outdoor concerts, patio speakers, and events must meet the local noise ordinance and the state's 65 dBA day / 50 dBA night facility limits at residential property lines.
Outdoor and live music at venues, restaurants, and residences in Burlington County is governed by municipal noise ordinances, not a county rule. Townships apply the Noise Control Act (N.J.A.C. 7:29-1.2) facility standards — 65 dBA daytime and 50 dBA nighttime at a residential property line — and may layer their own 'plainly audible' or event-permit requirements. Venues hosting outdoor music should verify with their municipality whether a special-event or amplified-sound permit is required and what curfew applies. Complaints about outdoor music are directed to municipal police or code enforcement.
Municipal noise-ordinance fines; DEP enforcement under N.J.A.C. 7:29 for facilities exceeding the property-line decibel limits.
