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 who are causing it and try to find a solution that is acceptable to everyone.
Ask other affected people in your neighbourhood whether they also feel annoyed and have already taken action if necessary.

If you cannot reach a compromise through dialogue and you feel that your peace and quiet is being unreasonably disturbed, you can

• inform the relevant authorities or
• contact the police in acute cases.

Note: If you have a complaint about noise or odour emissions from industrial plants, you must proceed differently.
