Public Works Director Khattab Shammout and Assistant Police Chief Dave Burkhart told the Board of County Supervisors that none of 19 resident complaints tested since the amended noise ordinance took effect in May have exceeded the current limits. Readings generally fell in the nighttime 50s and daytime low 60s, below the 73 dB daytime and roughly 60-to-68 dB nighttime thresholds.
Of the 19 complaints filed through the county’s 311 system, 18 did not meet the definition of steady tonal noise, though staff measured them anyway. The department aims to respond within two business days and has averaged about 8.5 days from complaint to measurement feedback.
