Noise

Because noise assessments will vary according to the source of noise (music, machinery, equipment, etc) and the way people are exposed to it (eg in their homes, late at night, frequently and so on) it is difficult to provide advice that will apply to all circumstances.

Enquiries

If you are troubled by noise, or have a general enquiry, please contact the Environmental Health customer support team (contact details on right).

Process

Our usual procedure is to send a letter to the address complained of, explaining the circumstances, what can bedone and inviting them to discuss the matter.  We also need a detailed 'noise diary' from the complainant - this is issued at the same time and the evidence is used to help determine what steps we need to take in our investigations (e.g. visit at night, install monitoring equipment, etc).
