Quiet hours in Florin, CA — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Florin is an unincorporated CDP in Sacramento County and is governed by Sacramento County Code Chapter 6.68 (Noise Control). SCC 6.68.070 caps residential exterior noise at 55 dBA between 7 a.m. and 10 p.m. and 50 dBA between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. measured at the receiving residential property line.
Sacramento County publishes the residential noise standard on its Environmental Management Department (EMD) Noise Control Program page, which confirms maximum noise levels of 55 dBA daytime (7 a.m.-10 p.m.) and 50 dBA nighttime (10 p.m.-7 a.m.) in residential zones of unincorporated Sacramento County. Higher Lmax peaks are tolerated for short cumulative durations within each hour. Interior noise standards in SCC 6.68.080 cap intruding sound inside dwellings at lower levels (typically 45 dBA day / 35 dBA night).
