The mayor of New York, Michael Bloomberg, has proposed new legislation that promises “the first comprehensive overhaul” of the New York City Noise Code in over 30 years.

The proposed legislation identifies a new class of noise hazard as ‘excessive bass level vibrations’ which could see nightclub owners faced with thousands of dollars worth in police fines for second offences.

The announcement was made at Astoria Park in Queens, where Bloomberg launched previous police initiative Operation Silent Night in October 2002.

Under the new ‘excessive bass level’ clause, police will also be able to issue on-the-spot tickets based on their own judgement rather than noise meters, with clubs facing $3,000 fines for second offences. However, there is also more flexibility with no penalties for first-time offenders, providing they then comply with the noise levels.

Dogs barking, air conditioning units, construction work sound and ice cream van jingles were also targets for Bloomberg, whose latest campaign has been criticised by some as mean and heavy-handed.

Bloomberg said: “This new proposal will maintain our city’s vibrancy by balancing the need for construction, development and an exciting nightlife with New Yorkers’ well-deserved right to peace and quiet.”

He continued: “Building on the success of our enforcement initiative, Operation Silent Night, we are proposing a comprehensive revision to the noise code that will make New York quieter without stifling growth.” Details: www.nyc.gov
