In Summary:
Orange County is reminding residents that noise complaints are handled differently depending on whether the disturbance occurs in unincorporated areas or within city limits. Complaints involving residential noise, alcohol-related establishments, or suspected illegal activity should be directed to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, while nonresidential commercial noise is handled by the Environmental Protection Division. Recent updates to the county’s Noise Ordinance also clarify enforcement standards and exemptions for certain permitted sounds.
