 Barking comes naturally to dogs, but the constant barking or whining of a dog can be disturbing or annoying for your neighbours.
 Noise problems often arise from commercial premises. The most common of which are public houses and outdoor events.
 It is always worth approaching the person causing the noise, as people are not often aware that there is a problem. Complaints can often be settled amicably between the parties without the Council becoming involved.
 Nuisance can be defined as an unlawful interference with a persons use or enjoyment of land or property (NSCA).
This is generally a matter of common sense and treating your neighbours as you would wish to be treated.
 Noise Action Week is an annual initiative that aims to raise awareness of the problems caused by neighbour noise and the solutions available to tackle it.
