Three Million Suffer With Noisy Neighbours

At least three million UK adults currently suffer from noisy neighbours but more than a third fail to take action, according to research. Loud voices or arguing from the neighbours was the most disturbing noise (58%), followed by blaring music or televisions (40%), the poll for Which? Legal Service found. A quarter (26%) of those affected were disturbed by doors slamming, 15% suffered due to regular parties and 3% heard their neighbours having sex. Among those who reported noisy neighbours, six in 10 lost sleep, while others said the disruption made them irritable, angry or stressed. One in 10 sufferers saw their work or health affected. However, 36% made no effort to address the problem. Read more on the 24dash website.
