Freeda, does this answer your question about the level of the noise in question??

(4) In determining whether a noise is unreasonably loud and disturbing, the following factors incident to such noise can be considered, in addition to such others as the enforcing authority deems relevant:
a. Time of day.

b. Proximity to residential structures.

c. Whether the noise is recurrent, intermittent, or constant.

d. The volume and intensity of the noise.

e. Whether the noise has been enhanced in volume or range by any type of electronic or mechanical means.
(5) Specifically, a noise source shall be considered a prohibited "noise disturbance" under the provisions of this chapter if it generates decibel levels greater than sixty (60) decibels in any residential or multifamily residential neighborhood at a point located one thousand (1,000) feet from the location generating the noise, or decibel levels greater than seventy-five (75) decibels at a point located one thousand (1,000) feet from the location generating the noise, regardless of the surrounding land use. Decibel levels shall be measured by an officer of the Sumter County Sheriff's Department, using equipment specifically designed for decibel measurement.
