noise violation

Illegal volume offense

A noise violation is an infraction of local ordinances that limit how loud sounds can be during certain hours.

Most municipalities restrict noise levels at night, and violations typically result from loud parties, barking dogs, or construction at prohibited times: The neighbors got a noise violation for their 2 a.m. karaoke session.

Repeated violations may lead to fines or other penalties.
