# Noise Thresholds

> Learn how the noise_threshold object sets the limits of noise tolerated at a property, customizable for each hour of the day on a noise sensor.

## The noise\_threshold Object

Represents a [noise threshold](https://docs.seam.co/capability-guides/noise-sensors/configure-noise-threshold-settings) for a [noise sensor](https://docs.seam.co/capability-guides/noise-sensors). Thresholds represent the limits of noise tolerated at a property, which can be customized for each hour of the day. Each device has its own default thresholds, but you can use the Seam API to modify them.

<ResponseExample>
  ```json Noise Threshold theme={null}
  {
    "device_id": "69b9e908-039b-413a-904e-5edee653ca27",
    "ends_daily_at": "09:00:00[America/Los_Angeles]",
    "name": "My Noise Threshold",
    "noise_threshold_decibels": 21,
    "noise_threshold_id": "f8cef69d-625f-464c-aed4-287c06e0d7fe",
    "noise_threshold_nrs": 5,
    "starts_daily_at": "07:00:00[America/Los_Angeles]"
  }
  ```

</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="ends_daily_at" type="String">
  Time at which the noise threshold should become inactive daily.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="name" type="String">
  Name of the noise threshold.
</ResponseField>

<ResponseField name="noise_threshold_decibels" type="number">
