Quiet hours in Corona, CA — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Corona Municipal Code Chapter 9.24 (Loud and Unnecessary Noises) and §17.84.040 (Noise) regulate noise levels. Stationary noise from neighboring properties is limited by Table 1 standards. Loudspeakers limited to 75 dBA and permitted only 8 AM to 9 PM.
Corona regulates noise through two code sections: Chapter 9.24 prohibits loud, unusual, or boisterous noise causing discomfort to a reasonable person, considering factors like whether noise is audible from 50+ feet, the area's zoning, and time of day. Section 17.84.040 establishes quantitative standards with Table 1 (stationary source limits by zone) and Table 2 (transportation noise). Loudspeakers and amplifying devices are limited to 75 dBA and may only operate between 8 AM and 9 PM. Noise devices near residential areas must not be discernible beyond the property line. Impulse or simple tone noises reduce the standard by 5 dBA. Violations are misdemeanors and constitute public nuisances subject to abatement under Chapter 8.32.
Noise ordinance violation: misdemeanor. Public nuisance abatement under CMC Chapter 8.32. Loudspeaker violations: citation and cease-and-desist. Each day of violation is a separate offense.
