Chapter 6.40 — HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

Article III — Noise Sources

Patterson Municipal Code · 2026-07 edition · updated 2026-09-27 · Patterson

§ 6.44.060. Excessive, offensive, disturbing or intrusive noise.

The following activities are declared to cause excessive, offensive, disturbing or intrusive noise in violation of this section, but said enumeration shall not be deemed exclusive:

  • A. It shall be unlawful for any person to unnecessarily sound any horn or other signaling device on any vehicle except as an emergency or danger-warning signal. This provision shall be inapplicable to the sounding of any horn, bell, whistle, siren or other audible warning device which is operated in compliance with Section 7604 of the California Utilities Code, or any other state or federal provision governing railroad operations, or for emergency work as defined in this chapter.

  • B. It shall be unlawful to play or operate any drum, radio, phonograph, loudspeaker, sound amplifier, car radio-CD or tape deck, television, or similar sound-amplifying equipment, whether mobile or from a fixed location upon the public streets, public right-of-way, or in public parks in such a fashion that it is clearly audible at a distance of fifty feet. The city council finds and declares that any sound or noise audible at such a distance constitutes an intrusive noise and public nuisance, and endangers the public safety and welfare by interference with normal human capability for hearing nearby traffic movements and warning signals. This section shall be inapplicable to radio systems operated under or pursuant to Federal Communications Commission licenses in the regular course of business.

  • (Ord. 437 § 7, 1989)

§ 6.44.070. Animal noises.

  • A. Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, it shall be unlawful for any person to keep or maintain, or to permit the keeping or maintenance upon any premises owned, occupied or controlled by such person in the city, any animal or animals, poultry, or household pets, which by any frequent or long-continued noise shall disturb or cause discomfort to any reasonable person of normal noise sensitivity. For purposes of this section, "frequent or long-continued noise" shall mean any noise which is essentially continuous for fifteen minutes aggregate during any sixty-minute period.

  • B. This section shall not apply to any kennel, cattery or animal hospital operated legally within the city.

  • (Ord. 437 § 8, 1989)

§ 6.44.080. Hawkers and peddlers.

It shall be unlawful for any person within the city to sell anything by outcry within any area of the city zoned for residential uses. The provisions of this section shall not be construed to prohibit the selling by outcry of merchandise, food, and beverages at council approved or otherwise licensed sporting events, parades, fairs, circuses, and other similar licensed public entertainment events.
