A motor vehicle sound device audible 30 feet away on a public right-of-way violates Anderson's noise ordinance. Loud modified or defective exhaust must be repaired within seven days to keep an exemption.
Section 94.44(B) prohibits operating any sound-producing device in a motor vehicle on a public right-of-way, highway or public space if the sound is audible 30 feet from the device, targeting loud car stereos. Modified or defective exhaust noise is addressed in the exemptions: Section 94.45(I) only excuses exhaust noise if the vehicle is repaired within seven calendar days, so ongoing loud exhaust is enforceable. The ordinance's motor-vehicle definition expressly includes cars, motorcycles, ATVs, go-carts, minibikes and snowmobiles.
Fines start at $175 and reach $500-$1,000 for repeat offenses; each day of violation is separate (Code § 94.99).
