Domestic noise nuisance

If you are experiencing problems with noise from neighbours, the Council may be able to take action to alleviate the problem.

Noise nuisance can include:

• Loud amplified music
• Noise from a television or radio set at too high a volume
• A dog barking or a house alarm
• DIY activities at an unreasonable hour

Noise coming from ordinary domestic activities being carried on in a reasonable way does not constitute a nuisance.
