Before making a noise complaint

Before making a noise complaint consider talking or writing to your neighbour or the source of noise and consider mediation.

Talk to your neighbour or source of noise

It is good to address noise issues early. Try to speak to the person causing the noise. Be reasonable - remember there is no right to silence.

Write to your neighbour or source of noise

If you would prefer not to speak face-to face, try writing a letter. Remember to keep a copy.
