Summary
On and around Pineview Reservoir, Weber County bars any activity or noise that unreasonably distracts other users of the reservoir, campgrounds, and shorelines between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. every night. Posted day-use areas around the reservoir close entirely during that same overnight window.
Sec 26-3-4 Quiet Hours: No activity or noise that causes unreasonable distraction to other users of the reservoir and campground facilities is allowed on the reservoir and in the surrounding campgrounds and shorelines from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. each day.

Full Breakdown
Section 26-3-4, titled Quiet Hours, sits in the chapter regulating use of Pineview Reservoir and its surrounding areas and prohibits any activity or noise causing unreasonable distraction to other users of the reservoir and campground facilities on the water, in the surrounding campgrounds, and along the shorelines, from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. each day. Section 26-3-9 backs this with a separate closure: posted day-use areas around the reservoir may not be occupied at all between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. Chapter 26-1, covering Weber County South Fork Memorial Park and North Fork Park, carries its own parallel quiet-hours rule in Section 26-1-3(b)(3), making it a violation to fail to maintain quiet between 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. in those two parks.
Both are area-specific park and recreation rules adopted under the county's authority to operate recreational facilities under U.C.A. 1953 § 11-2-1; the code does not contain a general residential noise curfew reaching all of unincorporated Weber County outside these recreation areas.
Violations & Fines
Section 26-3-12 makes any violation of the Pineview Reservoir chapter, including the Section 26-3-4 quiet-hours rule, a class C misdemeanor, punished as state law provides for that class. A quiet-hours violation inside South Fork Memorial Park or North Fork Park instead falls under the code's general penalty in Section 1-1-7, since Chapter 26-1 has no dedicated penalty section: a fine up to $1,000, imprisonment, or both, as a class B misdemeanor, with each day a separate offense.
