Noise Ordinance
The STVR ordinance refers to the city Noise regulations for noise during the day and evening. It defines quite hours where the ambient noise level is reduced from daytime levels. Sound at the beach carries and we live in close proximity to one another. You do not have to put up with noises during the day (prior to 10pm) nor outside chatter during quiet hours after 10pm. This type of behavior is disruptive to a residential neighborhood. Call the police and report violations.
Costs incurred by the VPD for responding to nuisance events will be levied against the property owner, per section 10.650.230 for the above noise ordinances. If you are experiencing issues with any property, we encourage you to report the incident to the police. Report all emergency incidents to 911, non-emergency to 805-650-8010.
For residential areas, 50 to 55 decibels are about the loudness of normal voices in conversation at about 3 feet away from each other. From the ordinance this is the maximum level in Pierpont.
