Quiet hours in Oklahoma County, OK — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Oklahoma County government does not have a countywide noise/quiet-hours ordinance for unincorporated areas. Noise disturbances are addressed through Oklahoma's general disturbing-the-peace statute (21 O.S. §1362). Incorporated cities within the county set their own noise rules.
Oklahoma County has minimal direct noise regulation for unincorporated areas. State law 21 O.S. §1289 (disturbing the peace) provides baseline enforcement as a misdemeanor. The Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office handles noise complaints in unincorporated territory. Oklahoma counties have limited regulatory authority and cannot zone under state law. Most populated areas in Oklahoma County are incorporated into cities (OKC, Edmond, Midwest City, Del City, etc.), leaving relatively small unincorporated areas. Industrial and commercial noise complaints go through ODEQ at the state level.
Disturbing the peace: misdemeanor up to $100 fine and/or 30 days. County has limited civil penalty authority.
