Prince Edward County Council Committee of the Whole will consider recommendations for a new noise by-law at its upcoming meeting.
The current by-law was enacted in 2002 with an amendment in 2011.
With increased tourism and the increase in short term accommodations, County staff say the new by-law must reflect the expectations of residents and be enforceable.
Recommendations brought forward by Council and public responses from the Noise By-law Survey were used to draft the proposed noise by-law.
In the public survey, more than 86% of respondents did not believe there was a noise problem in their neighbourhood and 93% had never made a noise complaint themselves.
Of those who did make noise complaints, most were related to loud music and operation of power devices.
The new by-law, would give enforcement staff, as well as police, defined times for restrictions related to specific noise generators instead of maximum sound levels.
Prince Edward County Committee of the Whole meets Thursday at 1 p.m.
