Enforcing noise regulations

The incident highlights the tension between entertainment venues and noise pollution regulations in South Africa. According to environmental health laws, any noise that disturbs or impairs the convenience or peace of any person is defined as noise nuisance and is illegal under the Environment Conservation Act (73 of 1989) and the Noise Control Regulations of 1999.

Contrary to popular belief, no provision allows people to make noise until a specific time, such as 10 PM. The regulations clearly state that no noise at any time may disrupt the peace of neighbors, regardless of the hour. When complaints are made, Metro Police are dispatched to investigate noise levels and enforce compliance.

For those planning parties, the proper procedure involves contacting all potentially affected neighbors to receive their written consent, then submitting these documents to Environmental Health for a temporary noise exemption. Without such approval, law enforcement has the authority to shut down events that generate complaints.

When responding to noise complaints, police will typically first issue a warning, allowing organizers to lower volume levels. However, in cases of repeated complaints or particularly disruptive noise, officers may take more direct action—as seen in this video where the officer opted to completely shut down the music.
