About Neighbour Noise

Neighbour noise such as ear-splitting music, slamming doors, barking dogs, late night parties and deafening drilling can greatly impact on people’s daily lives.

In fact, research reveals that 43% of people in the UK felt they had been bothered by some form of neighbour noise within the last year.

Many people suffer in silence because they are frightened to speak out or they do not know where to go for help.

Noiseconcern.org is a new information tool for the public that is designed to tackle all levels of neighbour noise problems.

Set up by the charity ENCAMS, it forms part of a national campaign which encourages people to speak to their neighbour about any noise issues before they escalate into a dispute or they make an official complaint. To read more about the campaign click here.
