Avoid A Possible Conviction When You Soundproof At Home

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….

Let Acoustic Supplies Deal With Noisy Neighbours

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….

Tackle Noisy Neighbours With JCW Acoustic Supplies

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….

Elderly Neighbour Given ASBO For Causing Excess Noise

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….

Keep It Down By Soundproofing Your Home

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.
