There is a party at Beatrice's house on Sunday noon.

Which is right? on Sunday noon. or at Sunday noon.

Q:Which preposition is right for the sentence above? Thank you.

IMHO, at.
It is "Sunday noon" that you have to take into considertation; not just "Sunday."

You say on Sunday, but at noon. In this case, the name of day of the week determines the use of on in the phrase:

on Sunday noon
just like in:
on Sunday night (on Sunday, but at night)

You can also say Sunday noon, without the prepositon on, though.
