Short-term rental guests get no special noise allowance. In unincorporated Mohave County they must meet the Chapter 14 ordinance; in cities, the local noise code applies, and repeated complaints can jeopardize a permit.
STR guests are held to the same noise rules as everyone else. In the unincorporated county, the Chapter 14 ordinance bars noise that disturbs a reasonable person and prohibits vehicle audio audible ten feet away from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., enforced by the Sheriff's Office. In Bullhead City and Lake Havasu City, guest noise falls under the municipal code, and STR programs make the host responsible for guest conduct, with a posted local contact who must respond. River and lake tourism means peak summer crowds; a pattern of verified complaints can factor into permit review.
Noise citations follow the general rules: a Class II misdemeanor in the unincorporated county, city fines elsewhere. Repeated verified complaints at a permitted STR can threaten renewal in cities that license rentals.
