§ 100.03 ESTABLISHMENT OF QUIET HOURS. On residential property between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m., no person shall make, cause, allow, or permit the operation of any continuous source of sound in such a manner as to create, when measured at or beyond the real property line of the property from which the sound emanates, a sound level that exceeds 55 dBA or 55 dBC.

Fines escalate under § 100.09: $100 for a first offense, $500 for a second within six months, and up to $1,000 per occurrence for a third or later offense in that six-month window, with each day of a continuing violation a separate offense. Three notices of violation within 60 days is treated as 'recurring,' opening the door to injunctive relief; arrest is also an available enforcement option.
