Quiet hours in Cherry Hill, NJ — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Township Code Chapter 5 (Police Regulations) prohibits exterior radios, musical instruments, televisions, phonographs, drums, or other sound-producing devices used in a manner that causes a noise disturbance plainly audible across a property line.
Cherry Hill regulates noise through general nuisance language rather than a single bright-line decibel curfew. A 'noise disturbance' is any sound that endangers health, disturbs a reasonable person of normal sensitivities, or endangers property. Sound level is measured in dBA with an A-weighted sound level meter. Police respond to complaints citywide; for ongoing residential complaints, the Township coordinates with NJDEP measurement protocols.
Fines escalate within any 730-day (2-year) window: $100 first violation, $250 second, $500 third, and up to $1,000 for the fourth or greater. Each day of violation is a separate offense.
