General household or living noise

We would not consider this to be anti-social behaviour.

'General living' includes noise such as vacuuming, walking around, doors opening or closing, general conversations, children playing etc.

• We advise you to have a friendly word with your neighbour as they may not be aware you can hear them. We’ve put together some tips to help you resolve problems with neighbours. You can also download our concern card (PDF 44KB)
• If you still feel you are being disturbed, you may wish to contact your Housing Manager who can complete a ‘drop test’ and agree to acceptable household noise levels.
