(A) It shall be unlawful for any person to make, cause to be made, continue or to permit any excessive or unreasonably loud noise or any other raucous sound, considering the time, date, place and nature of such noise or sound, that annoys, disturbs, injures or endangers the comfort, health, peace, safety or repose of other persons of ordinary sensibilities within the city limits. Factors for determining whether a sound is unreasonably loud and raucous include, but are not limited to the proximity of the sound to sleeping facilities, the land use, nature and zoning of the area from which the sound emanates and the area where it is received, the time of day or night the sound occurs, the duration of the sound and whether the sound is recurrent, intermittent or constant.
(B) No person operating, occupying or in control of a motor vehicle on a street, highway, alley, parking lot, park or driveway shall operate or permit the operation of any sound amplification system upon or from within the vehicle of which they occupy or area in possession so that the sound is plainly audible at a distance of 50 or more feet from the vehicle. Measurement standards shall be by human auditory senses based upon direct line of sight. Words or phrases need not be discernible and bass reverberations are included. These requirements apply to any vehicle whether stopped, standing, parked or moving.
