The Board of Commissioners of the Township of Haverford, finding
that excessive levels of sound are detrimental to the physical, mental
and social well-being of the people as well as to their comfort, living
conditions, general welfare and safety and being therefore a public
health and welfare hazard, hereby declares it to be necessary to provide
for the greater control and more effective regulation of excessive
sound and the sources of excessive sound within the Township, such
as barking, yelping, howling or causing any other unseemly noise for
extended periods of time, whether confined inside a residence or to
the outside area.
It shall be unlawful for any owner, custodian or keeper of any
dog, cat, feral cat, bird or other animal to permit the same to make
excessive noise to the disturbance, annoyance, or fright of persons
in the vicinity. It shall also be unlawful for the owner, custodian
or keeper of any dog, cat, feral cat, bird or other animal to keep
the same when the animal exhibits a habit or pattern of making excessive
noise to the disturbance, annoyance or fright of persons in the vicinity.
