Another work week cannot be productive without proper rest and sleep, which is why most employers establish a five-day work week with Saturday and Sunday days off. But even these conditions do not always help employees to tune in to productive work, and the main reason for this is often a banal lack of sleep due to the noise coming from neighboring apartments or the street.
Is it okay to make noise on the street on weekends is a question that many people ask. And this is not surprising, because no one wants to break the order and pay a fine for non-compliance with the requirements of the law. It should be noted right away that it is possible to make noise on the street (and in the apartment) on Saturday and Sunday, but only at certain hours and not exceeding the norms established by law. By the way, each region of Russia has its own time frame, when it is permissible to make noise, and when it is strictly punishable. However, before announcing the time, you should figure out what kind of noise is "unnecessary", for which you can incur administrative responsibility.
What is "unnecessary" noise
In general, a person calmly tolerates noise equal to 50-55 dB (dB is a unit for measuring the loudness of a sound), which is why there are certain noise standards in Russia that cannot be exceeded. During the daytime, the maximum allowed sound volume is 55 decibels in an apartment and up to 70 - on the street, and at night - no higher than 40 in an apartment and 60 on the street. If the noise level is below the specified values, then it does not interfere with the life of people. However, exceeding these standards, especially if the noise does not stop for a long time, adversely affects a person. Often, negative factors manifest themselves in the form of irritability and headache - the nervous system suffers.
It is impossible to measure the noise level without special devices, but it should be borne in mind that the sounds listed below are a violation of public order and administrative punishment can be incurred for them.
- Explosion of pyrotechnics (fireworks, "bombs").
- Loud singing, screaming.
- Household noises (these include loud celebrations of weddings, birthdays, etc.).
- Alarm system (both indoor and outdoor).
- Loud music.
- Construction and renovation work.
All of the above noises exceed the statutory limits, since their sound level is above 70 dB.
Until what time can you make noise on Saturday on the street
According to the law, in Moscow and the Moscow region on Saturday (as well as on Sunday and holidays) the "time of silence" is from 22.00 to 10.00, in St. Petersburg - from 23.00 to 8.00, in Krasnoyarsk - from 10.00 to 18.00, in KhMAO (Ugra) - from 21.00 to 8.00.
Failure to comply with the law threatens with administrative responsibility - a fine. The amounts of monetary fines in all regions are different, for example, if the violation occurred in Moscow or the region, and the offender is an individual, then the amount that he will have to pay is from one to two thousand rubles.
The fine for breaking the silence in Krasnoyarsk for individuals is from 500 to 4000 thousand rubles, in St. Petersburg - from 500 to 1000, in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - from 500 to 2000 rubles.
