Noise
Noise affects everyone - local residents, your flatmates and other student residents
Being considerate about noise works both ways. You won't want to be kept awake when you've got an exam or coursework deadline, so think about others when you're staying up late.
What you can do to keep the noise down
- Come in quietly after a night out.
- Keep the volume of your music down or use headphones, especially after 11pm.
- Don't put your speakers against an adjoining wall.
- Close doors without slamming them.
- Close windows and doors at night, so noise doesn't carry.
- Use loud appliances, like washing machines and vacuum cleaners, during the day.
- Practise your musical instrument during the day.
- Think when you're practising your musical instrument, do you need to use the amp? If so, keep it low.
Don't be the neighbour from hell, keep noise down.
What to do if you're being disturbed by noise
Politely ask the people who are making the noise to keep it down. If they don't listen or it gets worse, contact the member of staff on duty at your hall.
