Perris, CA Noise Ordinances: Outdoor Music (2026)

Perris does not have a separate festival or patio-music ordinance; outdoor music falls under Chapter 7.34. Section 7.34.040 permits amplified music or human voice but caps it at 80 dBA from 7:01 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and 60 dBA from 10:01 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. when measured at or beyond the property line. Section 7.34.080(2) prohibits operating any sound-reproduction device, musical instrument, or amplifier in a manner that disturbs the peace, quiet or comfort of a reasonable person of normal sensitivity, except for licensed parades or city-authorized activity. Specifically for public spaces, section 7.34.080(6) makes it unlawful to operate a radio, phonograph, television or other sound device in any public park, public parking lot, or adjacent street without the prior written approval of the city manager or administrator, and even then only if it does not exceed the levels in the section 7.34.040 table. Restaurants, breweries, and venues hosting outdoor live music must therefore keep property-line noise within the 80/60 dBA limits, and special events on public property require advance city authorization. These are City of Perris rules and apply within the incorporated city.
