The Dayton Police Department receives numerous noise complaints every year. The City has many diverse neighborhoods ranging from residential to commercial areas. Therefore, a level of tolerance is expected. If the noise is illegal as defined in this informational Web page, police may intervene.

We suggest that you initially try contacting the person responsible for the noise. Often times, they are not aware of the discomfort they are causing others. If you feel uneasy about contacting the person, or he/she has been uncooperative, you can call: 937-333-2677 (non-emergency police number) for police assistance.
