Amending Chapter 193 of the Code of Ordinances. Chapter 193 of the City Code <br />is hereby amended to read as follows: <br />Chapter 193 NOISE <br />ARTICLE I General Provisions <br />§ 193-1. Purpose and intent. <br />The purpose of this chapter is to limit excessive noise that interferes with the comfortable <br />enjoyment of life, property, recreation or conduct of business in the City. <br />§ 193-2. Definitions. <br />The following words, terms and phrases when used in this chapter shall have the <br />meanings ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a <br />different meaning: <br />AMBIENT SOUND LEVEL means the summation of the sound from all of the discrete <br />sources affecting a given site at a given time, exclusive of extraneous sounds and those <br />from the source under investigation. The ambient sound level is synonymous with <br />background sound level.
