No short-term rental noise rule exists in unincorporated Mobile County. Guests answer to the same state disorderly-conduct law as everyone else, Ala. Code §13A-11-7, which makes unreasonable noise a Class C misdemeanor.
Unincorporated Mobile County writes no STR-specific noise rule, because the county cannot pass one. A rental guest in Theodore, Grand Bay, or Irvington is bound by Ala. Code §13A-11-7 exactly like a resident: unreasonable noise that recklessly disturbs the public is disorderly conduct, enforced by the Sheriff's Office. There is no county quiet-hour ordinance a host must post. Cities that license rentals, such as Mobile, attach quiet-hour conditions under Ala. Code §11-45-1, so a noisy guest there can also cost the host a permit; no such leverage exists in the unincorporated county.
A guest making unreasonable noise commits disorderly conduct under Ala. Code §13A-11-7, a Class C misdemeanor. The unincorporated county cannot fine or pull a host's permit, because none exists.
