Noise complaints refer to reports made by individuals or groups about sounds that are disruptive or bothersome. These sounds can come from various sources, such as loud music, construction work, or barking dogs. Noise complaints are often addressed by local authorities or homeowners' associations to maintain peace in residential areas. When a noise complaint is filed, it typically involves an investigation to determine the source and level of the noise. Authorities may issue warnings or fines to those responsible for excessive noise, aiming to resolve the issue amicably. In some cases, mediation may be used to help neighbors reach an agreement on acceptable noise levels.
