In the City of Holland, public-address systems and sound trucks used outdoors for charitable, community, educational, recreational or religious purposes are allowed only between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., and only with a permit from the Chief of Police.
Ottawa County has no outdoor-music ordinance; the City of Holland and townships regulate it. Holland's Section 19-6(e) permits public-address systems and other sound amplifiers outside buildings or on sound trucks between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. for charitable, community, educational, recreational and religious purposes, but only with a Chief of Police permit. Permits are limited to two hours per half-day, sound trucks must stay 300 feet from hospitals and schools during school hours, and general amplified music is still capped by the 25-foot plainly-audible test in Section 19-5(2).
Unpermitted or out-of-hours outdoor amplification is a Class I municipal civil infraction in Holland under Section 19-14, subject to the civil fines in Section 2-118.
