Noise Control By-law

  • The operation of any electronic device or group of connected electronic devices incorporating one or more loudspeakers or other electromechanical transducers, and intended for the production, reproduction, or amplification of sound;
  • Persistent barking, calling or whining or other similar persistent noise made by any domestic pet or any other animal kept or used for any purpose other than agriculture.

Concerns regarding non-compliance can be reported to the Municipal Law Enforcement Department at 705-526-4136.
