Noise Nuisance Investigations
Noise nuisance can arise in many settings, including homes, mixed-use properties, and commercial premises. Whether the issue involves neighbouring activity, entertainment noise, plant and machinery, or poor sound insulation, it is important to assess the situation objectively before escalating a complaint or taking formal action.
​
JG Acoustics provides independent acoustic assessments to help determine the nature and extent of a potential noise nuisance. Our reports can support informal resolutions, guide property managers or owners, or assist with formal complaints made to a local authority.

Independent Assessment of Environmental and Neighbour Noise
Each case is assessed on its own merits. JG Acoustics takes time to understand the context, review relevant site conditions, and advise on the most appropriate method of investigation.
Common situations include:
​
-
Noise transmission between flats or terraced properties
-
Complaints relating to pubs, restaurants, or takeaways
-
Mechanical services noise affecting nearby dwellings or offices
-
Neighbour disputes involving music, voices, or animals
-
Impact noise and poor airborne insulation in multi-unit buildings
Services offered may include:
​
-
A consultation to establish the nature of the issue and review potential next steps
-
An attended site visit with observations or spot measurements
-
Installation of noise monitoring equipment for short-term or overnight analysis
-
Preparation of a clear, objective report or summary of findings
-
A formal report to accompany representations to landlords, agents, solicitors or local authorities

Important information
JG Acoustics provides independent acoustic consultancy and does not represent or act on behalf of any local authority. Our assessments are conducted in accordance with relevant British Standards and industry guidance where applicable, but we do not determine whether a statutory nuisance exists. That determination can only be made by an authorised officer under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 or by a court.
However, our findings can assist in clarifying whether further investigation by an enforcement body may be appropriate. Our third party assessments have proven highly effective in prompting local authorities to take noise complaints seriously and have supported clients in evidencing potential statutory nuisance.
