GOVERNMENT
MAKING A difference
TOO NOISY?
TALK TO YOUR NEIGHBORS FIRST;
THEN CALL THE VILLAGE
In an effort to protect the quality of life of the community,
Greenwood Village Code regulates noise disturbances. Most
noises become a violation when they are continually
bothersome to others. Citizens are encouraged to be
reasonable when it comes to filing a complaint about noise
and calling the Village when the noise becomes excessive,
ongoing, and/or no resolution can be reached with your
neighbor or the person(s) generating the noise. The Village
realizes that each situation can be different but the overall
goal is to stop any disturbing noise in the community before
it becomes a nuisance to others.
If talking to your neighbor or the person generating the noise
is out of the question, residents are asked to contact the
following departments for assistance on a variety of noise
issues. Depending upon the noise complaint, a member of
Community Development or the Police Department will
investigate any noise concerns.

FIDDLER’S GREEN AMPHITHEATRE
CONCERT NOISE COMPLAINT LINE
303-486-8275
Noise levels from
Fiddler’s Green
Amphitheatre are
measured at the
mix which means
at a location
approximately 100
feet from the front
of the stage, where
all of the sound equipment is set up. Sound levels are
measured through the use of a precisely calibrated
microphone that feeds data directly into a computer, with the
computer recording sound levels over 15-minute legs. Sound
levels, measured at the mix, should not exceed 110 decibels.
The Police Department takes record of every call received
from the concert noise complaint line after each concert and
will respond to every complainant and track noise issues by
address. In addition, during every concert, the Police
Department visually inspects the noise measuring equipment
to ensure noise levels do not exceed approved sound levels.
