Quiet hours in Live Oak, TX — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Live Oak enforces nighttime quiet hours from 10 PM to 7 AM under its general noise ordinance, with stricter limits near Randolph AFB housing and residential zones throughout the I-35 corridor community.
Live Oak prohibits loud, disturbing, or unnecessary noise that interferes with peace and comfort of residents during quiet hours, typically 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM on weekdays and 11:00 PM to 8:00 AM on weekends. The city code supplements Texas Penal Code 42.01 (disorderly conduct by unreasonable noise) and allows police officers to cite violators after a complaint and an on-site determination that noise is plainly audible at the property line. Repeat offenses carry escalating fines. Residential zones near Randolph AFB are sensitive due to AICUZ overlay and shift-worker populations.
