§ 480-64 Sound.
The volume of sound inherently and recurrently generated shall not exceed the following standards at any point along the boundaries of the zone in which the use is located:
Objectionable sounds of an intermittent nature shall be controlled so as not to become a nuisance to adjacent uses.
Maximum sound pressure levels shall be measured with a sound-level meter and associated octave band analyzer conforming to standards prescribed by the American National Standards Institute and shall not exceed the values for octave bands lying within the several frequency limits given in the following table after the application of appropriate corrections:
