quiet hours
Mandated silence periods
Quiet hours are designated times when noise must be kept to a minimum, typically in residential buildings, dormitories, or campgrounds.
Most often they fall during nighttime hours when people are sleeping: Quiet hours are from 10 PM to 7 AM.
Violating quiet hours—playing loud music, hosting parties—may bring complaints or fines.
Some institutions also enforce quiet hours during exam periods.
