A. Noise shall be measured on the “A” scale of a standard sound level meter having characteristics defined by the American National Standards Institute.

B. Noise measurements shall be made when the wind velocity at the time and place of such measurement is less than five (5) miles per hour, and consideration shall be given to the effect of the ambient noise level created by the encompassing noise of the environment from all sources at the time and place of the sound level measurement.

C. Noise measurements shall be made at a distance of at least twenty-five feet (25') from a noise source located within the public right-of-way, and if the noise source is located on other than public rights-of-way, at least five feet (5') from the property line of the property on which the noise source is located. For the purpose of this chapter, the boundary walls of rental property shall be considered the property line.
