Why the nature of the noise source is established first
For a legal assessment, it is important to understand whether the noise is associated with people's actions, equipment operation or the building's structural characteristics. Loud music and shouting, a constant ventilation hum and impact sounds transmitted through a floor structure require different source information. A complaint using the general word “noise” may fail to describe the circumstances that need to be checked.
Describe the source as precisely as you know it: where the sound comes from, when it starts, how long it lasts and whether it follows the same pattern. Distinguish observation from assumption. If the source is not visible, state the signs on which you base its connection to specific premises or equipment.
- Date and start and end times of an individual incident.
- The room in which the sound is heard and whether the windows are open or closed.
- A description of the sound's nature and recurrence.
- Original audio or video recordings with an explanation of the circumstances.
- Complaints, information about investigations and complete responses from organisations.
A phone recording helps describe an event and its sequence, but an app reading should not automatically be treated as the result of professional noise level measurements. The need for and subject of an instrumental investigation are discussed in relation to the specific source.
A sanitary assessment of equipment noise and consideration of a disturbance of the peace caused by household behaviour involve different subjects of investigation. The evidence, recipient of the complaint and wording of the claim are therefore determined after the circumstances have been examined. This approach helps focus efforts on a verifiable fact rather than ordering the same set of actions for every noise situation.
