STR noise in Carson is governed by the city's general Noise Control Ordinance (Carson Municipal Code Article 4 Chapter 5, eCode360 §47244215), which adopts Los Angeles County Code Title 12 Chapter 12.08 by reference. There is no STR-specific quiet-hour rule or decibel limit — the same standards apply to STR guests as to any other resident.
LA County Code §12.08.390 (adopted by Carson) prohibits sound levels at residential property lines exceeding 50 dB(A) from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and 45 dB(A) from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. (zone-specific). Loud and unreasonable noise (parties, amplified music) audible 150 feet from the source is also barred regardless of decibel reading. STR hosts are responsible for guest conduct — the LA County Sheriff's Carson Station enforces noise complaints in the field. Repeated guest violations can support a public-nuisance abatement under general CMC nuisance provisions.
Noise violations are typically administrative infractions: first offense warning, escalating to citations under LA County Code §12.08 enforcement provisions adopted by Carson. Disturbing-the-peace under Cal. Penal Code §415 is also available to deputies for live, loud party situations.
