Noise pollution and antisocial noise

We investigate complaints about excessive noise, and can take action if we consider the noise to be a statutory nuisance.

We may take a different approach depending on the source of the noise. For example:

• someone's home
• a licensed establishment
• a commercial property such as a factory.

Where domestic noise is affecting you outwith office hours, please contact the police:

•  Call 101, the non-emergency number.

Report antisocial behaviour

Noise from commercial properties

Where noise affecting the way you live comes from a commercial property (pubs, clubs, hotels etc), we can investigate to see if:

• a statutory nuisance exists
• there has been a breach of licensing conditions
• if any enforcement is appropriate.

You will need to tell us:

• the source of the noise
• the nature and frequency of it
• how it affects the way you live.
