Noise & Nuisance
Under the headings below, we explain the legal steps you can take if you are bothered by noise in your neighbourhood and the various types of noise that may affect you. Either begin with the relevant section for the noise problem that you face (such as aircraft noise), or go straight to information about the controls that are available to curb noise and return to the section on your particular problem later.
