STR hosts in Kaneohe must enforce noise rules under ROH Sec. 41-6.1, with special sensitivity near Marine Corps Base Hawaii housing and the quiet residential streets surrounding Kaneohe Bay.
ROH Sec. 41-6.1 prohibits unreasonable noise, and LUO Sec. 21-4.80 sets residential district noise standards including nighttime limits typically from 10pm to 7am. Article 31 defines decibel thresholds. Bill 41 requires STR house rules to reference these noise rules, and guests must be briefed on quiet hours. Kaneohe's topography amplifies sound across the bay, and complaints commonly originate from base housing and Heeia neighborhoods. Amplified music outdoors and late-night watercraft activity are frequently cited.
Fines range from $100 to $2,000, and chronic noise complaints can block STR registration renewal.
