(A) Noise which is objectionable as determined by the village due to volume, frequency, or beat shall be muffled, attenuated, or otherwise controlled, subject to the noise control provisions in the Village Code.
(B) In addition, objectionable sounds of an intermittent nature, or sounds characterized by high frequencies, even if falling below the decibel readings in the noise control provisions of this code, shall be so controlled so as not to become a nuisance to adjacent uses. Sirens and related apparatus used solely for public purposes are exempt from this requirement. Noise resulting from temporary construction activity shall also be exempt from this requirement.
(C) No use shall generate any ground transmitted vibration in excess of the limits set forth below. Vibration shall be measured at the nearest adjacent lot line. The vibration maximums set forth below are stated in terms of particle velocity, which may be measured directly with suitable instrumentation or computed on the basis of displacement and frequency. When computed, the following standards shall apply.
Particle Velocity, Inches Per Second | |
Frequency in Cycles Per Second | Displacement in Inches |
0 to 10 | 0.0010 |
10 to 20 | 0.0008 |
20 to 30 | 0.0005 |
30 to 40 | 0.0004 |
40 and over | 0.0003 |
(D) Vibrations resulting from temporary construction activity shall be exempt from the requirements of this section.
