Outdoor music in public areas must not be clearly audible beyond 50 feet (RBMC 4-24.513) without a permit. On private property it must meet the exterior dBA limits, which fall after 10:00 p.m.
Redondo Beach has no separate outdoor-music ordinance; it applies its general noise rules. In public spaces (streets, parks, the pier area), amplified outdoor music clearly audible more than fifty feet from the source is prohibited unless a permit has been issued (RBMC 4-24.513), and any loudspeaker or sound amplifying equipment on public property needs a variance from the Noise Control Officer (4-24.512). Live or recorded music at private venues and homes is measured against the exterior dBA limits of 4-24.301, which step down to 45 dBA in low-density residential zones during nighttime hours (10:00 p.m.-7:00 a.m.). Public-entertainment venues face a 90 dBA cap with signage (4-24.516).
Excess outdoor music is a prima facie violation (4-24.801), subject to abatement orders, notices of violation, and possible nuisance injunctions (4-24.804).
