Quiet hours in Kapolei, HI — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Kapolei residents and businesses follow ROH Chapter 41 Article 6, which prohibits sound-reproducing devices audible at 30 feet or more, with active enforcement near the Second City commercial core and mixed-use housing.
ROH §41-6.1 bars sound from radios, televisions, instruments, and portable speakers that carries 30 feet or more from the source. Kapolei's mix of dense residential subdivisions, hotels, and the Kapolei town-core commercial area means HPD District 8 officers routinely respond to after-hours noise calls around Ka Makana Alii, UH West Oahu, and entertainment venues. The audibility rule applies 24 hours a day, but residents generally expect quiet between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Hotel and apartment operators in Kapolei must also manage guest noise to avoid repeat citations under the ordinance.
Civil fines typically start at $100 for a first offense, escalating to $500 or more for repeat violations.
