Summary
Manteca bans amplified or reproduced sound audible from the property line of a short-term rental between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m., a stricter window than the city's general noise rules.
The owner shall ensure that no amplified sound or reproduced sound is used outside or audible from the property line between the hours of 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. and that the transient user does not violate the requirements set forth in this chapter and the code.
18. The owner shall comply with the nuisance response plan submitted with the application for a short-term lodging permit and approved by the finance director.
19. The owner shall allow the city to inspect the short-term lodging unit to confirm the number of bedrooms, gross floor area, and number/availability of parking spaces, seven calendar days after the city serves the owner with a request for inspection in accordance with this section. If, based on the inspection, it is determined that the information submitted to the city in accordance with Section 3.40.060 was false, in addition to any other remedy set forth in this chapter, the owner agrees that the owner shall be liable for the cost of conducting the inspection.
20. The owner shall provide the city with a copy of any written rental agreement(s) within seven calendar days after the city serves the owner with a notice of request for written rental agreements.
21. The owner shall:
a. Require every transient user and guest of the transient user to comply with all state and local laws that regulate parking while staying at or visiting the short-term lodging unit;

Full Breakdown
Municipal Code § 3.40.090(A)(17) requires the owner to ensure no amplified or reproduced sound is used outside, or is audible from the property line, between 9:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. The same quiet hours bind the transient user directly under § 3.40.100(A)(4), which makes amplifying sound outside the unit or audible from the property line during those hours unlawful. Owners must also post the rule inside the unit under the standard notice requirements.
Violations & Fines
A guest who amplifies sound during quiet hours can be cited directly, and noise incidents tied to Title 9 public-peace violations count toward suspending or revoking the owner's permit.
