Media Release Re: Noise Ordinance
Key Takeaway: The proposed ordinance allows business owners to have a measurable and known sound limit. Without it, they are subject to arbitrary complaints. The key is that the 65 dB limit is AT THE RECEIVING PROPERTY, not normal conversation. See the graph to show how sound diminishes over distance.
