Fishers bans any device in a motor vehicle from being plainly audible more than 30 feet away. Statewide Indiana Code 9-19-8-3 also requires every vehicle to have a working muffler to prevent excessive noise. Both apply throughout Hamilton County.
Vehicle noise is regulated by city code and state law. Fishers Code Sec. 98.02(D) makes it unlawful for any device within or attached to a motor vehicle to be plainly audible more than 30 feet away. Carmel Sec. 6-158 exempts vehicles lawfully operating on streets but still limits amplified sound. Statewide, Indiana Code 9-19-8-3 requires a muffler in good working order and constant operation to prevent excessive noise, and IC 9-19-8-4 bars muffler cutouts and bypasses; a violation is a Class C infraction.
Fishers device-in-vehicle violations are Class C infractions. State muffler violations under IC 9-19-8 are Class C infractions enforced by police statewide.
