Where short-term rentals are permitted in Williamson County, guests follow the same noise rules as residents: each city's ordinance plus the state disorderly conduct law, Tenn. Code Ann. §39-17-305. Hosts remain responsible for guest behavior.
No Williamson County short-term-rental-specific noise rule exists, and because Franklin and Brentwood largely ban STRs, the guests who do stay, in Leiper's Fork or grandfathered units, answer to the same city noise ordinances and to Tenn. Code Ann. §39-17-305, which makes unreasonable noise a Class C misdemeanor. Franklin's ordinance 11-402 tightens amplified sound between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m.; Brentwood caps noise near homes at 70 decibels. In the unincorporated county the Sheriff enforces the state statute. Repeated nuisance violations can also strip a grandfathered rental of its legal protection under state law.
Guest noise draws a city ordinance fine and can be charged as disorderly conduct under Tenn. Code Ann. §39-17-305. Three or more violations can end a grandfathered rental's protected status.
