Noise Ordinance

Ferndale residents took to the city council this past Monday to argue both for and against changes to the city's noise ordinance.

City noise ordinances in Tampa are a boon for the residents since the ordinances aim to reduce the noise that citizens have to bare every day.

Almost every city or county has a noise ordinance and disturbing the peace law. Whether you are the one making the noise or you are the one that doesn't want to hear the noise, these two laws can be an annoyance to you.

Ferndale city council next month will decide whether or not to hire a sound expert to measure decibel levels in its downtown after complaints from residents.

City officials are going to shift the noise standards to the Municipal Police so that they can better handle violations.
