Noise pollution
Many people do not realise the effect their enjoyment of loud music or other noise activities may have on their neighbours.
Dogs bark naturally, but the constant barking or whining of a dog can be very disturbing or annoying for neighbours.
Excessive entertainment noise from pubs, clubs and festivals can be a problem, sometimes badly affecting neighbours.
Construction and demolition works are usually noisy and can take place in areas that are normally quiet.
Disturbance from the use of fireworks at inappropriate times and locations has become a major source of complaints in recent times.
If you protect your property (commercial or domestic) by installing or taking over an alarm system you have a responsibility to make sure it does not become a noise nuisance.
