Genesee County has no countywide STR noise ordinance. Noise and quiet-hours are enforced by your city or township's general noise/nuisance ordinance, which applies to short-term rental guests the same as any resident.
There is no county short-term-rental noise rule. Michigan cities, villages, and townships adopt their own noise and public-nuisance ordinances, typically setting quiet hours (commonly overnight) and prohibiting unreasonably loud noise audible at property lines. These apply to STR guests regardless of any STR permit. Some townships also attach noise/good-neighbor conditions directly to the STR permit. If guests create a disturbance, neighbors call local police or code enforcement in the city or township where the rental sits. The county's involvement in short-term rentals is limited to the 5% accommodations tax.
Noise violations are cited under the local municipality's noise or nuisance ordinance (fines and, for permitted STRs, possible permit revocation). The county issues no STR noise citation.
