(A) The purpose of this section is to establish standards for the control of noise pollution in the town by setting maximum permissible sound levels for various activities to protect the public health, safety and general welfare.
(B) This subchapter may be cited as the "Noise Abatement Chapter" of this town.
(C) This subchapter shall apply to the control of all noise originating within the limits of the town or originating from properties lying outside the limits of the town owned or controlled by the town, except where either:
(1) A state or federal agency has adopted a different standard or rule than that prescribed in this chapter and has so pre-empted the regulation of noise from a particular source as to render this subchapter inapplicable thereto; or
(2) The Town Council has determined that, by reason of public acceptance of the activity producing a particular noise, such noise is deemed acceptable to the residents of the town.
