A to Z

A noise nuisance is more than mere annoyance. Noise may be a nuisance because it is of unreasonable duration, frequency or loudness.

Often, the person causing the noise is not aware that they are causing a disturbance. eg. bass element of music.

If the first contact on the matter is by an Officer from the Council, this can lead to a breakdown in neighbour relations.

It is usually better for the person who is suffering the disturbance to explain the problems to their neighbours. Most people are reasonable and when the situation is explained to them, this often leads to an agreeable solution. If other neighbours are prepared to support you, ask if one of them will go round to the noisy neighbour with you.

If your approach fails to solve the problem or you decide that you do not want to discuss the matter with your neighbours, you should contact us as below.
