Quiet hours in Camden County, NJ — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Camden County's Noise Control Ordinance sets a 50 dBA nighttime limit (10 pm-7 am) and 65 dBA daytime limit (7 am-10 pm) at a residential property line. Quiet-hours specifics for non-stationary noise are set by your town.
The county ordinance regulates sound from stationary sources measured at the receiving property line. For a residential receiving property, the limit is 65 dBA from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm and 50 dBA from 10:00 pm to 7:00 am. Loudspeakers and public-address systems are barred from 10:00 pm to 8:00 am if they create a noise disturbance across a residential line. General 'quiet hours' for people, parties, and everyday activity are enforced by each municipality (Cherry Hill, Voorhees, Pennsauken, etc.), not the county.
Up to $3,000 per offense; willful violations $100-$3,000; each day of a continuing violation is a separate offense (Art. IX).
