How can a noise ordinance be enforced?
80563
This is what we did.  Talk to other neighbors and see if they are also being disturbed.  You need to know the times that a noise ordinance can be enforced. Go to your local police station and make a report in person.  Ask for the officers name who routinely covers your area.  Continuous reports will make life miserable for both the officer and noise makers.  The officer will get tired of responding and something will be done.

Go around and get signatures on a pettition, then take it to managment and demand something be done,livng in a complex,they can't ignore everyone, and just keep complaining until the problem has been resolved..I wouldn't want them as neighbors.

I would look in your lease to see if there is a clause about there being a "quiet time" during certain hours.  If you know your neighbors, see if any one of them have complaints and/or have called the landlord.  If it is say, 2AM, and you hear unreasonable noise, you could always call the police and report a public disturbance.  But I wouldn't do that unless the landlord fails to act.  You may just have to face the possibility that you might have to move to get away from it.

First find out what your local ordinances are regarding these issues. Then, talk to them nicely and discuss the late night noise and the offensive garbage. If that does not work you can do one or both of the following things: Talk to a lawyer and have a letter sent to them if applicable. Report them to the local authorities. I live in a township and these issues are sometimes discussed at the monthly township meetings. I agree, "silence is acceptance". Good luck.

there are several traffic laws that can fit this situation  \nfor loud mufflers there is a traffic laws that requires even bikes to \nhave a muffler that does not emmit a unusal sound. for loud radio\nmost cities have a ordinance that make it against the law. i will write a citation most of the time if the situation calls for it . i will stop a loud bike as fast as i would a bassin vehicle . if the driver want attention he/she will get it . most of the time a warning but if required a citation . yes even a bike will be stopped.

I had the same problem last year. Two really hot Marines moved in next door who thought it was socially acceptable to blair their music at 2 on a Tuesday morning. I've adopted the three strikes rule. I give verbal warning two times, just really politely go to their apartment and say, "Hey guys, I'm trying to sleep, I've got class in the morning, could you please turn it down." On the third time, I let them know that if they can't turn it down, I'm going to have to call the police for a noise violation. If that doesn't work (and it hasn't on at least two occassions), I call the police. \n\nIt seems really mean but you pay good money to live in your apartment and there's no reason why you can't expect to have quiet during normal sleeping hours (which I consider to be between 10-6).

The end of your question has been chopped off! You need to add more details so we can help you.\n\nIn general if you are having problems with your neighbours I would recommend going to the Citizens Adice Bureau. You can find the nearest location of one on their website here:\nhttp://www.citizensadvice.co.uk/\n\nI guess the council won't move you? It also depends what they are doing to make life a misery. If you start keeping a record of thigns that happen then it makes it easier for you to prove to the council or police that something is happening and potentially you may be able to get an ASBO (Anti-Social Behaviour Order) which would make them comply with regualtions such as noise abatement etc.\n\nIf you are still on speaking terms with your neighbour you could always point out to them why you are frustrated with them and try and find out why they do whatever it is and how u can both make each others lives easier.\n\nGood luck!

First, talk to them. Politely ask them turn down the volume after 10pm.\nSecond, go to your neighborhood association.\nThrid, call the cops for distrubing the peace. Usually on visit from the cops is enough to straighten most neighbors out.

The Fire Department is not above the law, however, they do have a different set of rules than the average citizen when they are on duty and are going about their jobs.  For example:  They may exceed the speed limit, go through red lights, block streets and park in handicap zones.  This also extends to breaking local noise ordinances with their sirens.\n\nIf your local officials say there are no laws and rules restricting the noise level of the Fire Dept., your only have three options:  1) Get a lawyer and try to sue  2) Lobby to get rules added to tbe municipal code to limit the noise level 3) Move to a residence away from a fire station.\n\nI expect that options 1 and 2 will not be successful but you have the right to try them.

Prevention is your best policy.  If you can talk (peacefully) with the potentially irritated party before a petition can be circulated.  Explain that you like parties, but if there is a problem here is your phone number, and feel free to call.  If you really mean what you say, they will be more than likely to think of you in good neighbor terms, instead of the pain in the rear you think you might be.

Some people simply just listen to music, it can be quiet and that is how they listen. But there is another type of people who does not like to listen to the music.... they like to be the music... feel that annoying loud bass over their own heartbeat....\nyou can call the police through the "non emergency" phone line... and file a noise complaint.. in a lot of places . you are suppose to be quiet after 10. check and see if your area has a curfew... \nbut i would ask them to stop. and if that doesnt work. file a noise complaint

No, it's not your problem...it's a police matter.\n\nBut, if they are playing loud music, they might be partying and trashing the place in the process.  That would be where you come in.

1. As a form of peaceful protest, collect butts from ashtrays and sweep them up around your workplace or home.  When you've got a significant amount (say, a cubic foot) deliver them to city hall or personally to the mayor (or anonymously if you want), and say, "You are making this pollution and garbage legal.  Do something about it."  (Or words to that effect.)\n\n2. If you're inclined to and you are sure that the asshol^H^H^H^H^H^H smoker is not violent, carry a non-flammable (no aerosols) and non-irritating air freshening spray.  Spray it in the direction of the smoke but DO NOT spray it on the cun^H^H^H smoker.  That would be assault.  If they ask you to stop, tell them you wouldn't spray if they weren't smoking.\n\nI'm a little more aggressive than that and often pour water on ashtrays when the dimwit puts down the cigarette for a moment, or do other things (eg. "accidentally" knocking them out of their hands with umbrellas).  I'm willing to back it up, but I would advise you not to do such things.

I have a friend who was arrested for it. If the music is too loud they can ask you to turn it down, write you a citation or just take you to jail. Its up to the cops and how you act toward them.

All states have laws to protect homeowners and renters.  I am a Realtor and have studied the laws regarding your problem.  The basic law says that a homeowner/tenant has the right to quiet enjoyment of their domain.  It sounds like your neighbor just doesn't like any noise out of the ordinary like a vacuum cleaner or garbage disposal or general talking.  In my opinion your neighbor is being very picky about your noise issues but on the side of the neighbor, the noises you say you are making can be annoying to some people. As for you being a renter, The neighbor has no right to discriminate against you because you rent and not own the unit you live in.  My suggestion is to apologize to the neighbor about the noise and explain why the noise is necessary and come to an agreement as to a specific time you can create the noises.

Contact your local by-law enforcement office, usually located in city hall, and discuss the practice with them. If it contravenes a local ordinance they will probably make a visit and advise the person to cease.
