Real or Imaginary?

When a resident complains of excessive noise from a neighbour there is often more happening behind the scenes, such as a neighbourly fall out over a number of other issues. In these situations the complainant could be over sensitive to noise that would not normally bother them, or could be falsely exaggerating the noise levels involved. For the authority involved (environmental health, housing association, police, etc.) it can be difficult to separate the genuine complaints from the false ones.

The purpose of the Noise Nuisance Recorder is to give the resident the opportunity to show that the noise levels in question are genuinely excessive or of an abusive or anti-social nature. This is extremely important as excessive neighbour noise is very difficult to live with, causing a loss of sleep, increased stress levels and the resultant damage to health.
