Quiet hours in Pearl City, HI β also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time β define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Pearl City residents near Pearl Harbor and along the H-1 corridor must comply with ROH Section 41-6.1 prohibiting sound devices audible at 30 feet or more.
ROH Section 41-6.1 makes it unlawful anywhere in Pearl City to operate any sound-reproducing device in a manner plainly audible at 30 feet or more. Pearl City's mix of military-family housing, dense single-family subdivisions along Kamehameha Highway, and apartment complexes above the H-1 creates frequent close-neighbor noise situations. State HAR 11-46 Class A residential limits (55 dBA day, 45 dBA night) apply alongside the city prohibited-noise rule, with HPD responding to citizen complaints in neighborhoods from Manana to Waiawa.
Fines apply under ROH Chapter 41, escalating with repeat offenses. HPD responds to Pearl City complaints and can cite the person responsible for the noise source.
