Quiet hours in Silverdale, WA — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Washington's Noise Control Act sets statewide maximum environmental noise levels by zone, with stricter nighttime limits between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. that apply to all jurisdictions.
Under RCW 70.107 and WAC 173-60, Washington adopted Maximum Environmental Noise Levels (EDNA) categorized by source and receiving zoning district. Residential receiving properties have a daytime limit of 55 dBA from another residential source, dropping 10 dBA between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Cities may adopt local rules that are at least as stringent, but the state framework is the floor. Ecology administers, and local police or health departments enforce.
Noise exceeding the EDNA limits can trigger civil penalties up to $100 per day per violation, plus injunctive relief and abatement orders.
