AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of
Bremerton, Washington, amending Chapter 6.32 of the
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to amend and update Chapter 6.32 of the
Bremerton Municipal Code, relating to noise levels; NOW THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BREMERTON, WASHINGTON,
DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Chapter 6.32 of the Bremerton Municipal Code entitled "Noise
Levels" is hereby amended to read as follows:
Chapter 6.32
NOISE LEVELS
6.32.010 POLICY AND APPLICATION.
(a) It is the policy of the City to minimize the exposure of citizens to the
physiological and psychological effects of excessive noise and to protect, promote and preserve
the public health, safety and welfare. It is the express intent of the City Council to control the
level of noise in a manner which promotes commerce; the use, value and enjoyment of property;
sleep and repose; and the quality of the environment.
(b) The following environments have been identified and approaches adopted:
(1) Use of property. The different zoning districts of the City establish lawful
uses which can be anticipated to produce noise at certain reasonable levels associated with these
uses. The provisions of BMC 6.32.030 utilize thresholds consistent with those set forth in
and Chapter 173-
and recognizing that decibel intervals are increased exponentially
with each ten MHz of noise generation. The use of property is better suited to the use of noise
measuring devices because use is consistent and can be measured at the property line from the
property of the complainant. Intermittent noises and noise generated for the purpose of
annoyance is more sporadic in nature and requires a different approach. The provisions of BMC
6.32.050 entitled are aimed at those situations which are difficult or
impossible to address through measurement pursuant to BMC 6.32.030
Sound Maximum Permissible Levels. In administering and enforcing the provisions of this
chapter, the City desires to coordinate the application of these two approaches. The content of
the speech shall not be considered against any person in determining a violation of this Chapter.
(2) Similarly, public uses of the rights-of-way, such as parades, and First
Amendment speech such as a lawful demonstration should be differentiated from pure
commercial speech. Pure commercial speech has been defined by the US Supreme Court as
protected is susceptible of regulation provided that the City address the legitimate public concern
of noise pollution in a thoughtful and targeted manner.

Chapter 6.32 Noise Levels
(2) Finally, the City recognizes that the use of bells, chimes and carillons may
constitute a call to worship and accordingly such a use is protected as religious speech under the
First Amendment. In addition, the historic use of a carillon by the City of Bremerton is an
established historical use appropriate within the zone in which it is located. These noises are
appropriate when limited by reasonable time, place and manner restrictions.
(c) The provisions of this chapter shall be administered and enforced by the
Administrator defined in BMC 6.32.020(a) below.

Date:Thursday, May 26, 2022 7:09:32 PM
In 2020 we received 435 noise complaints. The peak time for noise complaints was between 10PM
and 1AM. The most prevalent day of the week for these calls was Saturday.
In 2021 we received 424 noise complaints. The peak time for noise complaints was between 10PM
and 1AM. The most prevalent days of the week for these calls was Saturday, Sunday then Friday.
(the number of calls only separated by 10 to 15 from day to day)
So far in 2022 we have received over 67 noise complaints. The peak time for noise complaints was
between 11PM and 1AM. The most prevalent day of the week for these calls was Saturday and
Sunday (again the difference was 10 to 15 calls).

Therefore, there dB measurements become irrelevant and should be stricken. What an easy defense to
avoid prosecution or eviction.
The 109 foot distance is arbitrary and inconsistent with other jurisdictions.
The issues of commercial establishment generated noise and residential generated noise should be
addressed separately, since the city appears to be interested in giving more flexibility to commercially
generated noise.
The ordinance still fails to address the issue of the obnoxious tenant, disturbing their neighbors.

{ǒĬƆĻĭƷʹ City Ordinance Chapter 6.32,"Noise Levels," suggested modifications
Dear Sirs/Madams,
As a landlord in the City of Bremerton for over 40 years, I have encountered my share of
obnoxious, noisy tenants that make life untenable for their neighbors.

following two changes:

Late night harassment of the tenant renting in the rental unit below is a current and often revisited
problem. Your 50 foot away measurement would not solve the problem of adjacent units.
Paragraph "6.32.120 Violations" infers only the City would have standing to sue under this
ordinance, precluding the landlord. It would be helpful if paragraph (d) is added, such as:
(d). "Landlor
Just the issuance of notice often
mitigates the noise problem.
This change would allow the landlord to become the plaintiff and avoids the requirement for the
City to act or intervene when presenting interior noise level complaints to a Superior Court
judge. Cell phone noise level app recordings would likely satisfy the requirements of paragraph (f)
of loud noises disturbing the peace of others.
