Bountiful City Code 13-1-117 caps motor-vehicle noise: 80 dB(A) for vehicles rated 10,000 lbs or less and 88 dB(A) for those over 10,000 lbs, measured 25 feet away. Every vehicle must keep a working muffler. Layton also targets booming car stereos plainly audible 50 feet away.
Davis County vehicle-noise limits are set by city codes, with Bountiful's being the most specific. Bountiful City Code 13-1-117 makes it unlawful to operate a motor vehicle emitting a sound level over 80 dB(A) for vehicles with a GVWR of 10,000 lbs or less, or over 88 dB(A) for vehicles over 10,000 lbs, measured by a sound level meter 25 feet from the vehicle at a height of at least four feet. It also requires a muffler or sound-dissipating device in good working order and constant operation; emergency vehicles are exempt. Layton (Ord. 08-20) targets car sound systems that are plainly audible 50 feet or more from the device on public rights-of-way.
City code violation; loud stereos in Layton are a class B misdemeanor. Missing/defective muffler prohibited.
