Noise Nuisance

If you are disturbed by noise at unsociable hours, or if there is persistent noise, there are things you can do:

  1. Talk to your neighbour – they may not be aware that there is a problem
  2. If the noise is excessive and it’s late at night, call the Night Time Noise Team or the Police
  3. Contact East Lothian Council’s Safe Communities Team helpline
  4. Contact your Housing officer, who can discuss the problem with your neighbour
  5. If speaking with your neighbour hasn’t helped, give the Resolution Service a try
  6. Request a noise monitor. Your Housing Officer can help you to arrange this
