Burlington County has no short-term rental noise ordinance. Noise is governed by New Jersey's Noise Control Code (N.J.A.C. 7:29) — 65 dBA daytime and 50 dBA at night at a residential property line — which municipalities adopt and enforce, and by local STR quiet-hours rules.
New Jersey regulates noise through the state Noise Control Act and N.J.A.C. 7:29, which sets continuous limits of 65 dBA during the day and 50 dBA at night measured at a residential property line. Municipalities adopt and enforce these limits under a state-approved model noise ordinance, and many Burlington County towns add short-term rental quiet-hours provisions (for example 10 p.m. to 7 a.m.). Burlington County itself does not run an STR noise program; the county's role is health, planning, roads, and solid waste. So a noisy rental in Evesham, Mount Laurel, or Pemberton is addressed by that municipality's noise or STR ordinance and its police, using the state N.J.A.C. 7:29 standards, not by a Burlington County rule.
Noise violations are enforced by the municipality under its adopted noise or STR ordinance, with fines that escalate for repeat offenses. There is no separate county noise penalty for short-term rentals.
