Collierville, TN Noise Ordinances: Quiet Hours (2026)

Collierville does not print a single quiet-hours window that applies to every kind of noise. Instead, Section 130.022 of the Collierville Code of Ordinances opens with a general rule in subsection (A): the creating of any unreasonably loud, disturbing and unnecessary noise is prohibited, and noise of such character, intensity or duration as to be detrimental to the life and health of any individual or in disturbance of the public peace and welfare is prohibited.

The only clock hours the section ties to nighttime disturbance appear in subsection (f), headed yelling, shouting, hooting and the like. It prohibits yelling, shouting, hooting, whistling or singing on the public streets, particularly between the hours of 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., or at any time or place so as to annoy or disturb the quiet, comfort or repose of any persons in any hospital, dwelling, hotel or other type of residence, or of any person in the vicinity. The word particularly matters: the 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. window is the stated emphasis, while the ban reaches any time of day when the noise annoys or disturbs people nearby.

The same subsection also reaches the keeping of any animal, bird or fowl which by causing frequent or long continued noise disturbs the comfort or repose of any person in the vicinity. Section 130.016, disturbing the peace, separately makes it unlawful to make or assist in making any noise or disturbance by which the peace, harmony or good order of the neighborhood is disturbed.

Enforcement belongs to the Collierville Police Department. Violations of Section 130.022 are prosecuted like other Town Code misdemeanors, started by a traffic citation ticket or by a summons on a private citizen's complaint, after a police officer verifies the violation using a sound meter.
