Noise Problems

Living in a city means that there will sometimes be noise around. But you do not have to put up with persistent, unreasonable noise - especially at night. Here's what to do if noise is causing you a problem.

Noise from another home

This could be constantly barking dogs, loud music or television, shouting, DIY or burglar or car alarms. If the noise is caused by a neighbour and you cannot resolve the problem, report antisocial behaviour.

Noise in the street

If the noise is caused by fighting, brawling or offensive drunkenness, contact Greater Manchester Police (external site) on 0161 872 5050.

Other noise

If the noise is from a pub or club, commercial premises, a building site, or roadworks, contact Manchester City Council.
