As the issue of noise has become a growing concern in the UK, so the punishments handed out by local authorities have become stricter and stricter. Anti-Social Behavioural Orders (ASBOs) are now given readily to persistent offenders, whilst others have had their possessions taken away from them and several have been issued with community service, or in some cases, sent to prison.
The UK population continues to grow at a rapid rate so it is understandable that the level of noise as a consequence has grown with it. The amount of cars, buses, motorbikes, taxis etc. has increased, as has air and rail travel.
To help accommodate these growing numbers of people, housing has also substantially increased so as you can imagine millions of people are living within very close proximity of one another….
After a long and strenuous day or week at work all you crave is a little bit of peace and quiet so that you can recharge the batteries and enjoy some precious free time. On occasions such as this we will often look towards our homes for solace but are very often let down due to the inability of the walls, doors, floors and ceilings of our property to keep out noise….
There is not a day goes by without someone contacting Acoustic Supplies and informing us of some form of noise-related issue they have with a neighbour. Disputes between neighbouring homes have grown over the past few years which is the inevitable consequence of an ever-expanding population.
Unfortunately, too many people take the law into their hands and confront their neighbours in a way deemed aggressive and forceful, when they should look to talk with them rationally to try and find a resolution. If the latter doesn’t work and you don’t have any change in luck after approaching your local council, then the next step should be to approach Acoustic Supplies….
Excess noise can literally drive you up the wall and leave you cursing those who live around you. A home is meant to be a quiet sanctuary you can turn to for the peace and quiet you need after you have a hard or stressful day at work, but this often fails to be the case. Rather than get into a row with your neighbours, why not instead invest in soundproofing….
Noisy neighbours have unfortunately become prevalent throughout the country. There are very few neighbourhoods where you will find peace and harmony between homeowners, in many cases it will be the exact opposite. As a result, noise-related complaints are on the rise, with various local authorities left overwhelmed with complaints from neighbours….
Many businesses across Britain are under pressure due to the on-going recession which means that bosses and their workers have to work harder than ever before. Staying ahead of the game and ahead of your competitors is essential if you want to succeed and see your company through these testing times. The last thing you need is to be disturbed by constant noise.
But this is the situation many companies find themselves in, especially those who work in premises which offer poor acoustics or are located nearby a busy main road. When undertaking your duties in the office you need a certain amount of quiet so if you find yourself driven to distraction you know the time has arrived when you need to look into soundproofing….
No-one should have to put up with a noisy neighbour, but that continues to be the case for several thousand people living in the UK. Local authorities have in large parts of the country begun to come down hard on noisy neighbours, but excess noise between homes continues to be a growing issue for many.
Sometimes speaking to the neighbour concerned fails to resolve the issue and in certain cases, even reporting the problem to a higher authority doesn’t have the desired effect. If you have utilised all the options that appear open, you should then perhaps look at taking a different approach courtesy of soundproofing from Acoustic Supplies….
Noisiness between neighbouring homes has become a growing problem in the UK. When you hear stories about noise-related disputes you automatically presume that the issue has been caused by people of a young age, however this is not necessarily the case!
An 87 year old woman in Hampshire has been handed with an ASBO (Anti-Social Behaviour Order) after being found guilty of causing severe disruption over the past 13 months. Georgina Sims was reported by her neighbours for playing loud music on her radio and banging her walking stick on the wall to try and drown out ringing in her ears caused by tinnitus. The ASBO was issued upon Mrs Sims as she and her family had previously been warned by the local authority….
The festival season is almost upon us. Although there is no Glastonbury this year, the festival roster still includes the following: Download, V Festival, Reading and Leeds, Bestival and Kendal Calling, not to mention The Stone Roses long-awaited reformation at Heaton Park in Manchester.
For thousands of music revellers, for one, two or three days, it is the perfect opportunity to see and hear all their favourite bands in the great outdoors. For several thousand others, particularly those who live nearby, it could be a living nightmare unless they sound proof their property in time for the summer season….
Working hours in the UK are as considerable as any other country in Europe. With living costs as high as ever before, many of us have to extend our normal working hours in order to make ends meet which means doing over-time and taking whatever work we can get. This means that thousands of us get very little spare time and when we do we will often spend it at home….
Yet another story has appeared in the press regarding the issue of noise. Hi-Lo, a Jamaican bar and restaurant in Oxford has…
We All Want To Enjoy Some Peace And Quiet On The Weekends After a busy week at work many of us will…
