For the City to investigate your noise concerns, you must;
- Lodge this Noise Investigation Request Form, and
- Attach your completed Noise Log Sheet (noise logs should be a minimum of 14 days worth).

It is important that you accurately record the noise nuisance as it affects you, providing as much information as possible. This information should also identify the source of the noise (at least the property address).
This information will then be used to determine the nature of the noise and possibly identify a pattern of the times and days the noise typically occurs. Details provided will then assist the Environmental Health Officer in investigating your noise issue.
Please Note:
- The City receives a large number of requests relating to noise issues and these are dealt with in order of priority.
- In some cases, legal action may be necessary to resolve a noise problem. In such cases, the evidence of persons affected by the noise may be vital to achieving a successful outcome. Anyone making a noise complaint should be aware that they may be required to give evidence in Court should the need arise.
- A mediation service is provided by the Citizens Advice Bureau and may be recommended by the City.
- The City is subject to the Freedom of Information Act 1992.
- The City will not commence the investigation of your request until the Noise Investigation Request Form is submitted with a completed log sheet.
If you have a completed noise log sheet and agree to the above considerations, proceed to the next page to complete a noise investigation request.
