A quick definition of disturbance of the peace:

Disturbance of the peace is when someone does something that causes trouble or makes people feel unsafe. This can include breaking laws that are meant to keep people safe and happy. It's against the law and can be punished by the government. Different places have different rules about what counts as disturbance of the peace, but it usually means doing something that most people would think is too loud or disruptive, and that bothers other people who are trying to enjoy their own space. Even if someone thinks they have the right to say or do something, they can still get in trouble if it bothers other people too much.

A more thorough explanation:

Disturbance of the peace is a term used to describe behavior that disrupts public order, incites violence, or disturbs the public. It is a criminal offense that violates laws enacted to preserve peace and good order. The specific acts that constitute disturbance of the peace depend on the facts and circumstances of each case.

  • Yelling and screaming in a public place
  • Playing loud music late at night in a residential area
  • Using unreasonably loud noises in public areas that disturb nearby residents
  • Threatening violence or engaging in violent behavior

These examples illustrate how disturbance of the peace can take many forms. Yelling and screaming in a public place can be disruptive and disturb the peace. Playing loud music late at night in a residential area can disturb the peace and infringe on the right of nearby residents to be undisturbed. Using unreasonably loud noises in public areas that disturb nearby residents can also be considered disturbance of the peace. Finally, threatening violence or engaging in violent behavior is a clear violation of public order and can incite further violence.

It is important to note that the right to free speech and religion does not justify behavior that invades others' rights to quiet enjoyment of their properties. For example, members of a religious outreach effort may be held liable for disturbance of peace if they use unreasonably loud noises in public and disturb nearby residents' resting in their homes during the evening.
