In Greeley, outdoor amplified music is a violation outside 7 a.m.-10 p.m. or if indoor sound is plainly audible past your property line (Sec. 12-360). In unincorporated Weld County, outdoor music must stay within 55 dB(A) day / 50 dB(A) night at a residential boundary.
Greeley Municipal Code Sec. 12-360 makes it unlawful to operate sound-amplifying equipment out of doors except between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m., indoors if the sound is plainly audible beyond the property line, or at a level higher than a permit authorizes. That governs backyard parties and outdoor events with speakers. In unincorporated Weld County there is no separate party rule; outdoor music is judged against the Sec. 14-9-40 dB(A) limits and the general ban on excessive noise that unreasonably interferes with a neighbor's enjoyment of their property.
Greeley Sec. 12-360 violations carry a fine of not less than $1,000 (up to $750 suspendable, with repeat-offense reinstatement). Weld violations are Class II petty offenses.
