How it works
The Noise Regulation Bylaw No. 48, 2011 bans noise on a highway or public place that unreasonably disturbs the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of individuals or the public. Section 4, which applies the same idea to noise from private property, is garbled in the posted PDF.
The bylaw also names specific noise. Amplified music or speech, animal noise and machinery noise that unreasonably disturbs others is prohibited between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. on weekdays, and between 11 p.m. and 9 a.m. on weekends. Weekdays means Sunday night to Friday morning; weekends means Friday night to Sunday morning.
Noise from construction, alteration, repair or demolition (including excavation or filling of land) that unreasonably disturbs others is prohibited in the same hours. No daytime limit is set, and the bylaw sets no decibel limit.
