Traffic Tuesday: When you can feel the noise

By Officer Jenni Eby
Wyoming Department of Public Safety


As the weather gets warmer, more and more people will have their windows open to enjoy the sun and fresh air. However, we always see an increase in noise complaints with warmer weather, as well as more questions about the hours of the noise ordinance. What the hours for the general noise ordinance (noise able to be heard from a public way like a street or sidewalk) in the city of Wyoming?

  1. No noise from 10PM to 7AM
  2. No noise from 11PM to 7AM
  3. No noise from midnight to 8AM
  4. There are no hours for the general ordinance
  5. I’m not sure, I’ll check back on Thursday

The answer is 4) There are no hours for the general ordinance, the city does not have designated “quiet hours”. If noise is bothersome to you, and can be heard by an officer from a public way (meaning a street or sidewalk), the ordinance can be enforced at any hour of the day.
