The city has a well established noise policy found in chapter 9.06 of our code book. The amount of noise that is acceptable is determined by the decibels produced. The ordinance does allow for exceptions for sounds created by parades, carnivals, special public social events, or special construction projects.
An exemption is granted by a permit from the Mayor. If you are interested in an exemption, please contact Tracy Orme in the Mayor's office at 801-852-6105 or torme@provo.org.
Each exemption is issued under the condition that it can be revoked. It is expected that during the event the applicant will work with police if complaints are filed to accommodate the reasonable needs of neighbors.
