Noise & nuisance — Alma, Quebec

What are the quiet hours? What noise is allowed?

The Town of Alma, Quebec has 2 adopted bylaws on file: Règlement 1001-07 concernant les nuisances; Règlement 1001-21 sur les nuisances, verified 2026-08-23.

Règlement 1001-07 concernant les nuisances adopted bylaw

Noise-specific bylaw: bans sound disturbing peace/rest, outdoor speakers, amplified sound audible outside, event music audible beyond 15m of the property line, and motorized equipment 9pm-7am; enforced by the Sûreté du Québec. Same number stem as the 2021-recodified Nuisances bylaw (1001-21) so may be superseded -- both are still listed live on the city's index with no 'abrogé' marker.

Règlement 1001-21 sur les nuisances adopted bylaw

General nuisance bylaw's noise provisions: bans disruptive/foul-smelling nuisances and restricts motorized equipment (lawn mowers etc.) to 9pm-7am; overlaps with the older, still-listed Règlement 1001-07 'Bruit excessif'.
