Romania noise and quiet hour regulations

Overview

Noise regulations in Romania are governed by both national legislation and the internal authority of homeowners associations.

Under Law no. 61/1991, specific quiet hours are mandated in rural areas, typically from 22:00 to 08:00 and 13:00 to 14:00. However, authorities can still issue sanctions for excessive noise or disturbances occurring outside these designated periods if they are deemed to disrupt public peace.

Additionally, Law no. 196/2018 allows homeowners associations to adopt condominium regulations that extend quiet hours beyond the national standard. These internal rules must be approved by a majority of owners during a general assembly and apply to all residents and guests. While these associations can set stricter silence intervals, they cannot override national law; police cannot issue fines for noise during association-mandated hours unless the noise also violates national legislation.
