What are the laws concerning loud noise from vehicles?
The Aurora Police Department aggressively enforces the Illinois State Statute that dictates that noise coming from vehicles (i.e. loud stereos) cannot be heard more than 75 feet away. In the City of Aurora, violators of this law will not only be issued a $75.00 citation, but will also have their vehicle towed and impounded at the police officer’s discretion. Should this occur, the violator will have to pay a $250.00 impound fee, a tow charge of between $100.00 and $130.00, a vehicle release fee of between $15.00 and $30.00, and storage fees after the first 24 hours of between $20.00 and $25.00 per day.
