Cherry Hill, NJ Noise Ordinances: Vehicle Noise (2026)

l, 'Gas Powered Vehicles,' within Chapter 5's Noise Control ordinance makes operating any gas-powered vehicle without a muffler a violation outright, and specifically includes 'revving' of engines within that ban, so a driver does not need a decibel reading to be cited; the absence of a functioning muffler, or the act of revving, is itself the violation. 2 defines a 'muffler' as a sound-dissipative device or system for abating the sound of escaping gases from an internal combustion engine, and defines 'motor vehicle' broadly as any vehicle propelled or drawn on land by an engine or motor, so the clause reaches cars, trucks, and motorcycles alike.

i bars motor vehicle racing events anywhere except an authorized track, in a manner the Township Council approves to minimize disturbance. c separately restricts any loudspeaker 'mounted upon any aircraft or motor vehicle' whose sound carries to the property boundary, requiring a Planning Board or Zoning Board permit, which covers a vehicle's exterior speakers or PA system, not its interior stereo. a: sounding one is barred except as a danger warning or as the state Vehicle Code allows. A. 2, can enforce the local ordinance directly for a Township summons.
