Display - Report noise nuisance
Whether you perceive sounds as noise depends, among other things, on your personal perception and the source or cause of the noise.
In the case of noise from the neighbourhood, first talk to the people causing it and try to find a solution that is acceptable to everyone.
Also ask other affected persons in your neighbourhood if they also feel harassed and if they have already taken action.
If you cannot reach a compromise through discussion and you feel that your peace and quiet are being unreasonably disturbed, you can
- inform the competent authority or
- in acute cases, contact the police.
Tip: If you have a complaint about noise or odour emissions from industrial plants, you must proceed differently.
Responsible department
- the municipality as local police authority (public order office) or
- any police station
