BE IT ORDAINED BY THE VILLAGE COUNCIL OF NORTH PALM BEACH,
FLORIDA:
Section 1. That the Village of North Palm Beach Code be, and
the same is hereby, further amended by creating Chapter 22 (Noise Control)
to read as follows:
Sec. 22-1. NOISE CONTROL POLICY---In furtherance of the mandate of the
people, as expressed in Article II, Section 7 of the Constitution of the
State of Florida, it shall be the policy of the Village of North Palm Beach,
Florida to conserve and protect its natural resources and scenic beauty
and adequate provision shall be made by ordinance for the abatement of
excessive and unnecessary noise.
Sec. 22-2. DEFINITIONS---For the purpose of this chapter, whenever any
of the following words, terms or definitions are used herein they shall
have the meanings respectively ascribed to them in this section except
where the context requires otherwise.
1. Ambient Noise. Ambient noise is the all encompassing noise associ-
' ated with a given environment, being a composite of sounds from many
sources, near and far. For the purposes of this Code, ambient noise level
is that level which is exceeded only 50 percent of the time during an
observation period of not less than 7 minutes excluding random or inter-
mittent noises and the alleged offensive noise at the location and the time
of day at which a comparison with an alleged offensive noise is to be
made. The evaluation of the ambient noise level may be done in accordance
with American National Standard S1.13-1971, as amended, or may be done
manually as follows:
a. Observe a sound level meter and at either 5 second or 10
second intervals and record the A-weighted level indicated by the meter
needle with the meter on FAST response.
b. Repeat the observations and measurements over a period of not
less than 7 minutes and of a sufficient time period so as to make at
least 50 readings.
c. Calculate the A-weighted sound pressure level that is exceeded
50 percent of the observation period. This level shall also be referred
to as the L50.
2. Acoustical Terminology. All acoustical terminology and all defin-
itions thereof shall be that contained in ASA S1.1-1960, as amended,
American Standard Acoustical Terminology of the American National Standards
Institute.
3. Authorized Emergency Vehicle. Vehicles of the fire department
(fire patrol), police vehicles and such ambulances and emergency vehicles
of municipal departments, public service .corporations operated by private
corporations, and the department of transportation as are designated or
authorized by the department or the chief of police of an incorporated
city or any sheriff of any of the various counties.
4. Decibel. A decibel is a unit for measuring the intensity of a sound,
the mathematical formula for which is expressed as the volume of a sound
which is equal to 10 times the logarithm of the ratio of the intensity of
the sound to the intensity of a specified standard sound, abbreviated
"dD ~ r
5. Discrete Tone. A discrete tone is a pure tone or a single frequency
sound. This is expressed technically as a sound wave whose instantaneous
sound pressure varies essentially as a single sinusoidal function of time.
6. Emergency Work. Emergency work shall mean work made necessary
to restore property to a safe condition following a natural disaster or
public calamity; or work required to protect persons or property from
imminent danger caused by hurricanes, tornados, floods or other natural
disasters or public calamity; or work by private or public utilities when
installing or restoring utility service.
7. Fixed Source. A machine or device capable of creating a noise level
at the property line upon which it is located, including but not limited
to: industrial and commercial process machinery and equipment, pumps, fans,
air conditioning apparatus, refrigeration machines or pool heaters.
8. Fluctuating Noise. A fluctuating noise is a noise in which the
loudness varies with time. This is expressed technically as a noise whose
sound pressure level varies significantly and exceeds the ambient noise
level.
9. Impulsive Noise. Impulsive noise is a very short duration noise.
It is a noise characterized by brief exertions of sound pressure which
significantly exceed the ambient sound pressure.
10. Intermittent Noise. An intermittent noise is an interrupted
noise which reoccurs at either regular or irregular intervals, excluding
an impulsive noise. The sound pressure level of an intermittentenoise
will equal the ambient environmental level two or more times during the
period of observation.
' 11. Motor Vehicle. Motor vehicle means any vehicle which is self-
propelled.
12. Motorcycle. A motorcycle is any motor vehicle having a seat or
saddle for the use of the rider and designed to travel on not more than
three (3) wheels in contact with the ground, but excluding a tractor.
- 2 -
13. Motor Driven Cycle. A motor driven cycle is any motorcycle,
and any motor scooter with a motor which produces not to exceed five
(5) brake horsepower, including every bicycle with a motor attached.
l~l. Noise. Any sound which is unwanted or which causes or tends to
cause an adverse psychological or physiological effect on Human beings.
15. Non-Steady Noise. Anon-steady noise is the same as a fluctuating
noise.
16. Period of Observation. The period of observation is the time
interval during which acoustical data and facts are obtained.
17. Person. Person shall mean a person, firm, association, co-
partnership, joint venture, corporation or any entity, public or private
in nature.
18. Sound. A temporal and spacial oscillation in pressure, or other
p}iysical quantity in a medium with internal forces that causes compression
acid rarefaction of that medium, and which propagates at finite speed to
distant points.
19. Sound Pressure Level. The sound pressure level, in decibels, of a
sound is twenty (20) times the logarithm to the base ten (10) of the ratio
of the pressure of the sound to the reference sound pressure. The
reference is 0.0002 ubar. The sound pressure level may be evaluated
using FLAT A, B, or C scales as defined by the American National Standards
Institute and shall be labeled dB, dBA, dBB or dBC respectively. The A-
weighted sound pressure level measured with fast response on an instrument
meeting American National Standards Institute specifications or its successor
bodies, except that only the A-weighting and fast dynamic response need
be provided, shall be called the "sound level."
20. Steady Noise. A steady noise is a non-fluctuating noise or a
noise whose level remains essentially constant during the period of
observation.
21. Unnecessary, Excessive or Offensive Noise. Unnecessary, excessive
or offensive noise shall mean any sound or noise conflicting with the
criteria, standards or levels set forth in this chapter for permissible
noise. In the absence of specific maximum noise levels, a noise level
which exceeds the ambient sound level by SdBA or more, when measured
at the nearest property line or, in the case of multi-family residential
buildings, when measured anywhere in one dwelling unit or from common
space in the same building, shall be deemed an unnecessary, excessive or
offensive noise.
22. Zoning District. A zoning district is any of the several desig-
nated categories in the zoning code of the Village of North Palm Beach,
Florida.
Sec. 22-3. UNLAWFUL TO MAKE UNNECESSARY, EXCESSIVE OR OFFENSIVE NOISE---

or in possession or control of any building or premises, shall use the
same, or rent the same to be used for any business or employment or
' residential use, or for any purpose of pleasure or recreation, if such use
shall, by its nature be excessive or offensive, and thereby disturb or
destroy the peace of the neighborhood in which such building or premise
i.s situated, or be dangerous or detrimental to health. This section shall
not prohibit the operation or periodic testing of emergency engines,
generators and other equipment necessary to maintain or restore regulated

tweerr the hours of 8:00 p.m. of one day and 8:00 a,m, of the next day
if any such activity shall cause noises whose levels result in excess of
the limits as stated in Section 22-20. No construction activity shall be
permitted on Sundays or legal holidays. Any person desiring to engage in
the aforesaid activity beyond the stated hours of limitation, based
upon cases of urgent necessity or upon the interests of public health,
- 4 -
safety and ultimate convenience, may apply to the Village Manager or his
representative for a special permit. Such permits, if granted, shall
be limited to a certain period, but may be renewed for additional periods if
the emergency or need therefor continues. In the issuance of such permits
the Village Manager or his designated representative should weigh all
facts and circumstances and should determine whether the reasons given
for the urgent necessity are valid and reasonable, whether the public
health, safety and ultimate convenience will be protected or better served
by granting the permit requested, and whether the manner and amount of
loss or inconvenience to the party in interest imposes a significant hard-
, ship. Upon an affirmative finding of the foregoing considerations, the

device, and such noise shall be muffled and deadened by adequate noise
' suppression and muffling devices to eliminate annoyance and disturbance to
persons within the range of hearing as set forth in this Chapter.
(2) The Director of Public Services shall require compliance with all
reasonable sound abatement measures and sound screening which may be
necessary to prevent all existing and new fixed mechanical equipment includ-
ing but not limited to air condition equipment from creating excessive,
unnecessary or offensive noise. .All new air conditioning equipment here-
after installed in the Village of North Palm Beach, Florida, shall carry
the manufacturer's certification of the sound rating, as determined by the
applicable standards of the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute
or the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning
F,ngineers. If the sound rating value of an air conditioning unit is such
that the sound level created by its operation is in conflict with the
provisions of Section 22-20, adequate noise suppression and muffling devices
shall be provided to reduce noise level to within the allowable limits.
All pertinent information and data as to the sound ratings of such equip-
ment shall be furnished to the Department of Public Services at the time
