Of those, 20 calls were about the news helicopters flying at low altitude, he said.
"Eight calls were made regarding loud music and a handful of calls about parking issues," Troendly added.
He added that traffic delays occurred throughout the day, due to heavy vehicle and pedestrian traffic going to and from the BottleRock event.
"Large crowds are expected today and tomorrow, which will more than likely result in traffic issues on main arterials leading into and out of Napa," Troendly said.

The Black Keys, Blues Traveler, The Flaming Lips and so many more bands took over Friday at BottleRock Napa Valley's third day of its inaugural five-day bash.
"I've lived in Napa my whole life," said Troy Bard, 46, a construction supervisor for PG&E, who was up front at The Black Keys show Friday night. "And this is the biggest thing I've ever been to in Napa."
Bard, one of an estimated 35,000 attendees, said he and his group of six family and friends would be at BottleRock much of the rest of the weekend.
"I hope everything goes well, so we can have it every year," he said.
