Newark CO §634.04(a)(2) lets places of public entertainment operate amplified music until 10 p.m. Sunday-Thursday and 11 p.m. Friday-Saturday before residential sound disturbances become a violation. Indoor levels above 95 dBA require a posted hearing-damage warning sign.
Section 634.04(a)(2) regulates radios, TVs, drums, amplifiers, and instruments at any place of public entertainment - any commercial facility open to the public for entertainment. Sound that crosses into residential areas is banned 10 p.m.-7 a.m. Sun-Thu and 11 p.m.-7 a.m. Fri-Sat. A nightclub or live-music venue exceeding 95 dBA (slow response on a sound meter) at any customer location must post a conspicuous sign at every public entrance warning: 'WARNING: SOUND LEVELS WITHIN MAY CAUSE PERMANENT HEARING IMPAIRMENT.' City-sanctioned concerts in public parks and municipal-authorized parades are exempt under §634.06(a).
Operating amplified sound past the cutoff: minor misdemeanor first, fourth-degree misdemeanor for repeats (up to $250). Missing the 95 dBA warning sign is enforced under the same penalty scheme.
