The work of the Council鈥檚 Pollution Team with regards to noise pollution is principally concerned with controlling emissions of noise into the environment. The level and frequency of noise will be acceptable to one person and not to another and could reduce a person's quality of life.

We investigate on average over 400 complaints about noise nuisance every year: You can report the following noise complaints to us:
- Noisy neighbours (music, shouting, alarms, DIY at unreasonable hours)
- Noise from commercial premises (pubs, venues, ventilation systems, alarms)
- Noise from industrial premises (factories, construction, demolition, alarms)
- Car alarms or loud stereos (only if vehicle is parked)
- Persistent barking dogs
We are unable to step in for road traffic noise or pubic order offences.
