Noise levels are measured in decibels and are different for different areas of the community defined as zones. For example, noise levels in an area zoned for 'heavy commercial' will be higher than areas zoned 'residential-one family'. The decibel listings are too long to list for this response. As a rule of thumb persons should limit activity likely to create a noise complaint between the hours of 8 p.m. and 7 a.m. If a person wants to look at the ordinance they can come to City Hall and go to the City Attorney's office.
