Ramsey County sets no outdoor-music rule for private property — your city does. In St. Paul, outdoor sound audible 50 feet away between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. is prima facie a violation, and amplified public events need a city permit.
Outdoor music on private property is governed by city noise codes, not the county. St. Paul makes outdoor sound plainly audible 50 feet from the source between 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. prima facie evidence of a violation (§ 293.07), and daytime music must still stay within the 65 dBA residential limit. Amplified music at parks, festivals or block parties usually requires a city permit or noise variance. Ramsey County Parks separately controls sound and amplified events in county regional parks. Check your city code and, for park events, county park rules.
Unpermitted or after-hours outdoor amplification is a misdemeanor in St. Paul; officers may order sound shut off and issue citations.
