Use of amplified outdoor sound beyond 10 p.m. requires City Council approval. You may also use the permit form on this website. The requirement is designed to help minimize neighborhood noise and make residents conscious of the need to be sensitive to those around them. Even with a permit, complaints from neighbors about the amplification can result in a police visit and the plug being pulled. All permit request applications for residential addresses are checked with the Police Department Records Division to determine whether there have been disturbances at that location in the past year.
Previous violations can be a reason for denial of the amplified sound permit.
