It shall be unlawful to make, continue, or cause to be made or continued, any noise in excess of the noise levels set forth unless noise is reasonably necessary to preserve life, health, safety, or property.

Any activity not expressly exempted by this subchapter which creates or produces sound regardless of frequency exceeding the ambient noise levels of the property line of any property (or if a condominium or apartment house within any adjoining apartment) by more than six decibels above the ambient noise levels as designated by Minn. R. ch. 7030 shall be prohibited.

1. Purpose. The city understands that exceeding decibels above the ambient noise level is necessary from time to time in order to perform construction and make necessary improvements within the city. The following exemptions from ambient noise levels outlines specific times during which such activity may take place.
2. Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
   Heavy equipment means compactors/rollers, cranes, dozers, dump trucks, excavators, forklifts, graders, jackhammers, loaders, pavement breakers, pile drivers, portable crushers, tractors, trenchers, or other pieces of equipment that generate similar levels of noise.
   Operated means and includes engine start-up or warm-up, or any activity involving heavy equipment that exceeds ambient noise levels.

Heavy equipment operated for the purpose of construction exceeding ambient noise levels may be operated between the hours of 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on weekdays and on Saturdays from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. No heavy equipment exceeding ambient noise levels at the property line may be operated on Sundays or state and federal holidays. No equipment shall be operated at any time if the sound level from the operation exceeds 100 decibels measured along any property line.
4. An exemption for activities which the city administrator finds are of urgent necessity and in the interest of public health and safety may be granted by written permission for the operation during any hour of any day for a period not to exceed three days or less while the emergency continues. Written permission may be renewed for periods of three days or less while the emergency continues.
5. Construction activity involving operation of equipment producing a sound level of up to 95 decibels that takes place no less than 1,200 feet in any direction from any dwelling may be allowed, through written permission granted by the city administrator, for operation during any hour of any day. Ambient noise levels must be maintained at the property line.

Outdoor implements designed primarily for outdoor use, including, but not limited to, any power lawn mower, snowblower, power hedge clipper, or power saw, may be operated at any time.
