College Station's Noise Ordinance clearly states that, It shall be unlawful for any person to willfully make, cause or allow continued any "loud noise" that because of its volume level, duration or character annoys, disturbs, injures or endangers the comfort, health, peace or safety of reasonable persons of ordinary sensibilities within the limits of the City. Quieter standards shall prevail during the night-time hours of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Here are some things to know:
If you find yourself in a situation that violates the standards set by our City's Ordinance, please contact the College Station Police Department's non-emergency number, 979-764-3600.
It is important that you call the first time noise becomes an issue so that it can be noted that there is a history of complaints at the particular location.
The officer must observe the violation in order to issue a citation.
A noise violation can be anything from a loud party to a loud vehicle.
When in doubt, give us a call!
