(b)Any municipality may adopt, amend and enforce a noise control ordinance which may include the following:
(1)Noise levels which will not be exceeded in specified zones or other designated areas;
(2)designation of a noise control officer and the designation of an existing board or commission, or the establishment of a new board or commission to direct such program;
(3)implementation procedures of such program and the relation of such program to other plans within the jurisdiction of the municipality;
(4)procedures for assuring compliance with state and federal noise regulations;
(5)noise level restrictions applicable to construction activities, including limitation on on-site hours of operation.
