No STR-specific noise ordinance exists. Guests at an Allen County short-term rental must follow the county's general noise/nuisance provisions in the Code of Ordinances, the same rules that apply to any resident.
Allen County regulates noise through its general Code of Ordinances offense and nuisance provisions rather than any short-term rental ordinance. Loud, disturbing noise that unreasonably disturbs the peace can be handled as a nuisance or through the Indiana disorderly-conduct statute; the county sheriff responds to complaints. IC 36-1-24 lets a unit apply nuisance regulations to STRs so long as they protect public welfare and are enforced the same as for other properties. Inside Fort Wayne, the city noise ordinance (including nighttime quiet hours) applies. Hosts commonly set quiet hours in house rules, but that is contractual, not a county mandate.
Noise is enforced as a nuisance or disorderly conduct by the county sheriff; penalties follow the general county ordinance or Indiana disorderly-conduct law (IC 35-45-1), not an STR rule.
