A.
No person shall cause, suffer, allow, or permit the operation of any source of sound on any source property listed in § 95-3A above in such a manner as to create a sound level that equals or exceeds the sound level limits set forth in Table I[1] and when measured at or within the real property boundary of any of the receiving properties listed in Table I, except as specified in Subsection B below.
[1]
Editor's Note: Table I is included at the end of this chapter.
B.
When measuring total sound or residual sound within a multi-use property, or within a residential unit when the property line between it and the source property is a common wall, all exterior doors and windows shall be closed and the measurements shall be taken in the center of the room most affected by the noise. All sound within the dwelling unit must be shut off or removed and measurements shall only be taken in areas which receive more than casual or transitory use, such as hallways, closets and bathrooms.
C.
Indoor measurements shall only be taken if the sound source is on or within the same property as the receiving property, as in the case of a multi-use property (e.g., sound generated within a commercial unit of a multi-use property building and received within a residential unit of the same building) or multi-unit dwelling unit building. The allowable sound level standards for indoors are shown in Table I.
