Quiet hours in Tyler, TX — also called the noise ordinance, nighttime noise rules, or residential quiet time — define the hours during which excessive noise is prohibited.
Tyler caps noise at 75 dB(A) from 7 AM to 10 PM and 63 dB(A) overnight (10:01 PM to 6:59 AM), with a one-hour Friday/Saturday extension. Set by City Code Sec. 4-90.
Tyler's noise ordinance (Sec. 4-90, Ord. 0-2018-76) sets measurable decibel caps rather than a simple quiet-hours window. In all districts except the Downtown Business, Arts and Culture (DBAC) district, the daytime limit is 75 dB(A) from 7:00 AM to 10:00 PM, extended to 11:00 PM on Fridays and Saturdays; the nighttime limit drops to 63 dB(A) until 6:59 AM. Officers can also cite 'unreasonable noise' that substantially interferes with a neighbor's comfort, regardless of the decibel reading. Enforced by Tyler Police.
Each violation is a public nuisance punishable under Sec. 1-4: up to $500, or up to $2,000 for zoning, fire, or health-related offenses. Each day is a separate offense.
