How can I deal with noise problems?

Don't suffer in silence. If there is a problem in your neighbourhood then you can do something about it.

Noise problem 1. Talk about it

Although it may sound obvious, simply talking politely to your neighbours may help the problem. Most people are unaware that they are causing a nuisance and are only too happy to resolve the issue once they find out.

If you feel you can't approach your neighbours or if there is still a problem talk to the council.

If the noise is disturbing you right now call the noise team on 020 7641 2000 (24 hours) for a response within 45 minutes.
