1. Seattle’s Construction Noise Code: Provide general guidelines for when a builder can be engaged in construction activities.  Access Here: http://bit.ly/1g8Kq1l

2. Permit & Management Plans: These plans may provide special/ more restrictive noise control requirements for the builder. Please note, not all builders require one. Access Here:  http://goo.gl/FhSFF3
