Police Begin Noise Checks During Tourist Season/Lamallari: Music Above Permitted Levels Will Be Penalized

The State Police have stepped up monitoring across the country to ensure compliance with permitted noise levels, particularly during the tourist season.

Interior Minister Besfort Lamallari said noise pollution would not be tolerated and that peace and quiet must be guaranteed for residents, families and tourists in every tourist area.

In a social media post, Lamallari stressed that the checks are being carried out in accordance with the revised guidelines on permitted noise levels and warned that action would be taken against businesses exceeding the established limits.

“The State Police are conducting monitoring across the country to ensure a peaceful and safe tourist season for every holidaymaker, family and visitor. Anyone playing music above the newly permitted limits will face the consequences,” Lamallari said.

According to the guidelines, between 20:00 and 24:00, the permitted noise level measured in public spaces is up to 45 decibels (dB).

Minister Lamallari emphasized that compliance with these limits is intended to preserve public peace and create the most suitable possible environment for residents and tourists during the summer season.
