Noise Nuisance

Noise nuisance

Noise is unwanted sound that can greatly affect your quality of life and health if continually exposed to it. It can also result in headaches, sleep deprivation and stress, among others.

Everyone has a different tolerance threshold when it comes to noise but it is unrealistic to expect complete silence.

There are many types of noise that we can easily avoid or reduce:

  • home entertainment equipment and loud music
  • parties
  • noise from the neighbours
  • noisy animals/ barking dogs
  • Do-It-Yourself (DIY) work and domestic appliances
  • car and house alarms
  • noise from refrigerated units in shops
  • ventilation fans
  • local pubs and entertainment
