Using Google, I found:

It looks like noise is regulated at the city level so you'll have to find out the noise ordinance for your particular city.

in general Kim, if there is a law (ie, a statute), then the HOA is typically not responsible for enforcement of it. enforcement of laws belongs to cities, counties, states or the federal government.

If there is a clause/covenent in your HOA CC&R's, then the HOA is typically responsible for enforcement of those (sometimes depending on other wording in the documents).

So, first place is to see if your CC&R's speak to any noise issues. If not, then check the city for ordinances, and go to them. If not the city, check county, then state.
