Noise Nuisance

It is a fact of life that none of us can avoid making some noise, whether it is using a vacuum cleaner as part of our household chores, playing music, entertaining friends, or even just having a normal conversation.

However, excessive noise of any sort can drastically reduce, or even destroy, someone’s quality of life and can cause stress and even illness.

In the past twelve months, our officers have investigated well over 1000 complaints about various types of noise.

In these pages, we offer advice on what to do if noise is upsetting your life, what action you can take to solve the problem, and how you can avoid becoming a noise nuisance yourself.
