About this booklet

This booklet gives you advice about how to solve noise problems.The noise could be from neighbours, traffic, or a business.

The booklet informs you of your rights and the sort of action you can expect from your local authority and the police. It is not an authoritative statement of legislation.

To help you, we have organised this booklet into three sections with an introduction.

Section 1 tells you what you can do about noise from neighbours, local commercial and industrial premises, and vehicles.
Section 2 describes additional noise controls such as bylaws and specific controls on noise from construction sites and loudspeakers.
Section 3 explains how you can get involved in planning to prevent noise.

At the back of the booklet, you will find contact addresses for information about noise sources such as aeroplanes, trains, and road traffic.
