Moraga Municipal Code Art. 5 Amplified Sound

The council recognizes that the use of sound amplifying equipment is protected by the constitutional rights of freedom of speech and assembly but nevertheless feels obligated to reasonably regulate the use of sound amplifying equipment in order to protect the correlative constitutional rights of the citizens of the town to privacy and freedom from public nuisance of loud and unnecessary noise.

(Prior code § 12-741)

It is unlawful for a person to install, use or operate a loudspeaker or sound amplifying equipment in a fixed or movable position or mounted upon a sound truck for the purpose of giving instruction, direction, talk, address, lecture or transmitting music to a person in or upon a public place where such use causes annoyance or discomfort to a reasonable person of normal sensitiveness in a residential neighborhood in the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of his or her property.
