Why?
Quiet times such as the night-time quiet hours (often from 10 p.m.) are mostly set by the municipalities, for example in their police regulations; some cantons also have their own rules on this. In rented buildings, the house rules (Hausordnung) also set out other things, for example when you may do your laundry.
