Quiet hours in Saginaw, MI — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Michigan sets no statewide decibel limit, so quiet hours come from each community. The City of Saginaw's Chapter 94 nuisance code bars loud, disturbing noise and restricts nighttime street noise. Saginaw Charter Township and Frankenmuth run their own noise rules.
In Saginaw County, quiet is a local matter. The City of Saginaw's Chapter 94 nuisance code (§ 94.047) declares a long list of loud, disturbing, and excessive noises unlawful, and specifically targets yelling, shouting, or singing on public streets between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. Saginaw Charter Township and Frankenmuth enforce their own noise ordinances. Outside any local noise code, the Saginaw County Sheriff falls back on Michigan's disorderly-person statute, MCL § 750.167. There is no statewide decibel standard.
City noise-code violations are municipal civil infractions or misdemeanors with fines set by ordinance. Disorderly conduct under MCL § 750.167 is a 90-day misdemeanor.
