The City of Brantford is reviewing its Noise Control By-law that restricts excessive noise like loud music or barking dogs. The by-law is intended to balance everyday activities with the need to limit excessive or disruptive noise that would interfere with someone’s enjoyment of their home.
Since 2020, the Noise By-law has restricted excessive noise that is disruptive at any time of the day or night. Noises that are regulated under the Noise By-law include, but are not limited to:
Sound from stereos or speakers
Persistent barking
Noise from Fireworks
Industrial and Commercial properties are required to ensure their doors and windows are closed during evening hours.
We want to hear from you
City of Brantford staff are seeking input on the Noise Control By-law from the public. The short survey will help inform a staff report that will be presented to Brantford City Council.
Please complete the survey by January 31, 2026 at 11:59 p.m.
