Noise Violations

Someone has recently requested when is "quiet time" for the neighborhood. We do not have a specific noise violation code in the HOA covenants; however, we do fall under the City of Macon Code of Ordinances.

The code can be located at:

This is an excerpt from the Part III, Chapter 12, Article II - Noise:

(a)
The creating of any unreasonably loud, disturbing and unnecessary noise within the limits of the city is prohibited. Noise of such character, intensity or duration as to be detrimental to the life or health of any individual, or in disturbance of the public peace and welfare is prohibited. In addition, at any time between 9:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. Sunday through Thursday and 11:00 p.m. Friday night and Saturday night and 9:00 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, it shall be deemed a violation of this section if any noise regulated or prohibited under the provisions of this section is readily audible in another home, residence, apartment or building in which the usual openings such as windows and doors are closed. The person causing the noise, or the owner, lessee or other person in control of the property from which the noise is emanating shall be deemed to be in violation of this section.
