The Noise Control Ordinance of the City of Newark, codified in Chapter 20, establishes definitions and regulatory framework for noise control within the city. The ordinance replaced a prior 1966 noise control ordinance (R.O. 1966 § 17:31) through Ordinance 6 S+FH, 62586.

The ordinance defines regulated categories including commercial operations, construction, demolition, emergency work, hospital quiet zones (within 500 feet of hospital boundaries), industrial areas, and mobile sources, with specific inclusions and exclusions noted for each category.
