It is unlawful for the owner or other person having control or custody of any dog, cat, or other animal to allow such dog, cat, or other animal to habitually howl, yelp, bark, or make other noises which unreasonably disturb another person. Any such dog, cat, or other animal may be seized and impounded. Prior to seizure and impound, the following must occur:

A. The owner or other person responsible for the animal shall be notified that other persons are complaining about the noises and/or are being unreasonably disturbed; and

B. An animal control officer shall make reasonable efforts to notify the owner or other person responsible for the animal, in person, by telephone or through the mail, that a noise nuisance complaint has been received, and shall discuss possible corrective measures.
