#### Determining presence of Tonal Sound
**3**
For the purposes of the administration and enforcement of this Bylaw, the
presence of Tonal Sound may be determined by conducting a one-third octave band
Frequency Analysis of the noise (from 31.5 Hz. to 16 kHz.); and applying the
following criteria if Tonal Sound is suspected but is not obvious:
(a) the level of the one-third octave band under consideration, or, in the
case of a pair of octave bands, the arithmetic average of the levels of these
two (2) octave bands, is more than 1 dB higher than the level of each of the
adjacent octave bands on either side of the octave band, or pair of octave
bands, under consideration, and
(b) the difference between the level of the one-third octave band under
consideration, or, in the case of a pair of octave bands, the arithmetic average
of the levels of the two (2) octave bands, and the arithmetic average of the two
(2) adjacent octave bands on either side of the octave band or pair of octave
bands under consideration, is 3 dB or more.
#### Quiet District permitted Sound levels
**4**
In a Quiet District, a person must not make, cause or permit to be made or
caused, any Sound that, when measured with an Approved Sound Meter over a
Representative Time Period, has an Equivalent Sound Level, or Leq, which:
(a) during the Daytime exceeds
(i) 55 dBA or 70 dBC when received at a Point of Reception in a Quiet
District; or
(ii) 60 dBA or 70 dBC when received at a Point of Reception in an Activity
District; or
(b) during the Nighttime exceeds
(i) 45 dBA or 65 dBC when received at a Point of Reception in a Quiet
District; or
(ii) 60 dBA or 65 dBC when received at a Point of Reception in an Activity
District.
#### Activity District permitted Sound levels
**5**
In an Activity District a person must not make, cause or permit to be made or
caused, any Sound that, when measured with an Approved Sound Meter over a
Representative Time Period, has an Equivalent Sound Level, or Leq, which
(a) during the Daytime exceeds
(i) 60 dBA or 70 dBC when received at a Point of Reception in a Quiet
District; or
(ii) 70 dBA or 70 dBC when received at a Point of Reception in an Activity
District; or
(b) during the Nighttime exceeds
(i) 55 dBA or 65 dBC when received at a Point of Reception in a Quiet
District; or
(ii) 70 dBA or 65 dBC when received at a Point of Reception in an Activity
District.
#### Summary of districts' permitted Sound levels
**6**
For convenience, the Sound limits set out in Sections 4 to 5 are summarized in
the Table in Schedule "B".
#### Correction factors for Sound levels
**7**
For all purposes under this Bylaw, when assessing a Sound relative to the
limits set out in Sections 4 and 5, the following correction factors must be applied
to the measured Equivalent Sound Level whenever the Sound has, as a defining
characteristic, impulsiveness, tonality, or persistent intermittency:
(a) **Impulsive Sound:** a +5 dB correction if the Sound
under consideration is impulsive in character;
(b) **Tonal Sound:** a +5 dB correction if the Sound under
consideration is tonal (i.e., it contains one or more pure tone
components);
(c) in order for the tonality correction to apply if measurement is required
to determine the presence of tonality, the level in the one-third octave band
containing the tone, or the arithmetic average of the levels in a pair of octave
bands containing the tone, must exceed the arithmetic average of the two (2)
adjacent octave bands
(i) by 3 dB or more for tones in the 500 Hz. to 16 kHz. octave
bands,
(ii) by 5 dB or more for tones in the 160 Hz. to 400 Hz. octave bands,
and
(iii) by 10 dB or more for tones in the 31.5 Hz. to 125 Hz. octave
bands;
(d) Intermittent Sound: a +5 dB correction if the Sound under consideration is
persistently intermittent;
(e) Multiple Corrections: a correction equal to the sum of the corrections set
out in Subsections (a) to (d), as applicable, that the Sound possesses to a maximum of 10 dB.
#### Sound disturbing neighbourhood
**8**
(a) Subject to the other provisions of this Bylaw, a person:

vicinity;
(ii) who is the owner or occupier of, or is in possession or control of,
real property must not make, suffer, or permit any other person to make, a
Sound, on that real property, which can be easily heard by a person not on
the same Premises; and which disturbs or tends to disturb the quiet, peace,
rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of persons in the neighbourhood or
vicinity.
(b) Subsection (a) does not apply if a Sound level may practically be measured and the Sound level is in compliance with this Bylaw.

convenience of a Person or the public;
(iv) the operation of any Motor Vehicle, truck, Motorcycle, bus or other
motorized vehicle which by reason of disrepair, mode of operation of the

to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of a
Person or the public;
(v) the Sound of a horn, or other warning device, on a Motor Vehicle used
for any purpose, other than as an audible warning incidental to the safe
operation of the Motor Vehicle; or
(vi) the Sound of a brake or other type of engine brake on a Motor Vehicle
used or operated for any purpose other than as an emergency braking device
incidental to the safe operation of the Motor Vehicle.
(b) Subsection (a) does not apply to a person who makes, causes, or permits to be made or caused, a Sound or noise in compliance with the provisions of
Sections 4 and 5, unless the noise or Sound is clearly audible at a Point of Reception in a residential area between the hours of 10:00 p.m. one day and 7:00
a.m. the following day.
#### Power Equipment
**10**

Manager's notice referred to in Section 12 (f).
(b) Despite Section 12 (d), where legal title to a Real Property is transferred, Nuisance Service Calls made before the date that the new owner obtains legal title to the

and that the imposition of such fees is in addition to the City's right to
seek other legal remedies or actions for abatement of the
nuisance.
(e) Service of the notice referred to in Section 12 (f) will be sufficient if the notice:
(i) in the case of service on an individual, is served personally or mailed by prepaid registered mail to the address of the owner shown on the

an invoice from the City. If the amount of each invoice is not paid in full
before the 31st day of December in the year received, on
written notice to the owner, the amount will be added to and form part of the
taxes on the Real Property, as taxes in arrears.
(g) An owner may, within 30 days of receipt of an invoice demanding payment of
Excessive Nuisance Abatement Fees, require that Council reconsider the
requirement to pay the Excessive Nuisance Abatement Fees, at which time the
owner of the Real Property shall have an opportunity to be heard by
Council.
