Complaining about noisy neighbours

Citizens Information has the scoop.

Living beside noisy neighbours can be a unique and unpleasant form of hell, interrupting down time, studying or sleeping. It’s unpleasant and you shouldn’t have to put up with it.

If you have a noisy neighbour, you should first try and approach him/her and have a friendly chat about it. Sometimes the person isn’t even aware that they are being so noisy and the problem will just stop there.

If this doesn’t work, there are other steps you can take in order to get some peace and quiet.

In particular you can refer the complaint to your local authority, local District Court or the Environmental Protection Authority.
