Renfrewshire Community Plan 2008 - 2017 Domestic noise
Home > Services > Community and living > Crime and law enforcement
If you have a problem with domestic noise, you can make a complaint to the council's Noise Enforcement Team. An officer will investigate your complaint and, where noise is caused by antisocial behaviour and is found to exceed permitted levels, the perpetrator may be issued with a warning notice under the Antisocial Behaviour (Scotland) Act 2004.
Failure to comply with a warning notice may result in a £100 fixed penalty notice being issued. In certain circumstances or times outside our noise service times, the police can also deal with noise complaints.
