Indio Municipal Code § 95C.04(G) makes it a noise-chapter violation to yell, shout, hoot, whistle or sing on public streets or other publicly owned property between 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. The same conduct is also a violation at any time or place if it disturbs the quiet comfort or repose of people in an office, dwelling, hotel or other residence nearby.
