Noise complaints: an overview
If no improvement is forthcoming, the complainant is given log sheets to record the incidents he believes to be noise nuisance.
If the log sheets are not returned it’s assumed the situation has improved and the case is closed.

Hide AdIf the log sheets are returned a second warning letter is issued to the person complained of and a decision is made whether or not to install surveillance equipment in the house of the complainant. If this is the case the equipment is installed for seven days and data gathered during that period is analysed to gauge whether a noise abatement order will be served.
By the far the biggest proportion of noise complaints received by Environmental Protection are complaints about barking dogs.
