The Mayor and City Council finds that excessive or unnecessary noise in the City is a menace to the welfare and prosperity of the people of the City. It is the public policy of the City that:everyone is entitled to an ambient noise level that is not detrimental to life, health, or enjoyment of property; the ambient noise level in the City should be controlled and reduced:to promote the public health, safety, and welfare and the peace and quiet of the City’s inhabitants; and to facilitate the enjoyment of the City’s natural attractions; and to those ends, standards for noise must be set and enforced, as provided in this subtitle. City Code, 1976/83, art. 11, §229(1st, 2nd pars.) Ord. 99-548
