If you have a noise complaint call your local law enforcement. What is coming out of the speakers is irrelevant if it is noisy and your peace is being disturbed.
The fine depends on what local ordinances exist in your jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions have no specific noise ordinance or the ordinance is vague. That may require you to make a citizen's arrest for disturbing your peace, with the police being present of course.
As far as the noise emanating from a vehicle, there is a section in the California Vehicle Code 27007 which makes it illegal to operate or permit the operation of any sound amplification system which can be heard from 50 or more feet when the vehicle is being operated on a roadway. The typical fine for this offense is $146 as listed in the Uniform Bail and Penalty Schedule.
What you have described does not fit the criteria for 27007 VC.
I hope this information was helpful.
it's considered a nuisance and disturbing the peace. Fines will never be big enough.
I don;t mind music coming from a car but if it is so loud or has so much bass coming from it that it disturbs others then I would like the offender to be fined for it.
There's this jacka ss that comes home every night between 1am-3am with bass pounding. Drives me crazy.What is the law in California for playing loud music in a car?
i was fined $170 some odd dollars for having amplified music...as the officer told me i could not have that...I'm assuming he meant past the 50 foot range...as far as in your garage...if there are complaints you will be visited by the police..otherwise...im not sure if the 50 ft range also applies there also
It's a noise ordinance in the vehicle code, if some 50 feet from your car can hear the music you're in violationWhat is the law in California for playing loud music in a car?
In my state it's called Noise Ordinance.
