Noise Pollution
We can investigate noise nuisance complaints ranging from amplified music and car alarms to bird scarers and construction sites.
Everyone is capable of making noise when they go about their daily business. People can be affected by different types of noise in various ways. What may cause distress and irritation to one person may not bother someone else.
