What does Oregon law say about noise?
- State rule
- Oregon Revised Statutes 467.020 says no one may make noise above the levels the Environmental Quality Commission sets, except for the shooting-range rules in ORS 467.131 and 467.133. ORS 467.100 lets a city or county adopt its own noise rules.
- Complaints
- Oregon DEQ says it cannot look into noise complaints as of July 1, 1991. The legislature ended that program then. The noise rules are still on the books.
