Let Acoustic Supplies Deal With Noisy Neighbours
There is not a day goes by without someone contacting Acoustic Supplies and informing us of some form of noise-related issue they have with a neighbour. Disputes between neighbouring homes have grown over the past few years which is the inevitable consequence of an ever-expanding population.
Unfortunately, too many people take the law into their hands and confront their neighbours in a way deemed aggressive and forceful, when they should look to talk with them rationally to try and find a resolution. If the latter doesn’t work and you don’t have any change in luck after approaching your local council, then the next step should be to approach Acoustic Supplies.
We have a team of acoustic consultants who are well-qualified to advise you of how…

Avoid The Boot – Use Acoustic Supplies
Noisy neighbours have unfortunately become prevalent throughout the country. There are very few neighbourhoods where you will find peace and harmony between homeowners, in many cases it will be the exact opposite. As a result, noise-related complaints are on the rise, with various local authorities left overwhelmed with complaints from neighbours.
What many people fail to take into consideration when they become a property owner is the fact that they have a duty to respect the privacy of those who live around and nearby them. We rely on our homes to provide us with a peaceful and tranquil setting where we can get away from things, not somewhere we expect to be disrupted by arguments, TV’s and Hi-Fi’s.
Those who show a blatant disregard for…

Tackle Noisy Neighbours With JCW Acoustic Supplies
No-one should have to put up with a noisy neighbour, but that continues to be the case for several thousand people living in the UK. Local authorities have in large parts of the country begun to come down hard on noisy neighbours, but excess noise between homes continues to be a growing issue for many.

If you have utilised all the options that appear open, you should then perhaps look at taking a different approach courtesy of soundproofing from Acoustic Supplies.
Introducing soundproofing to your home may be the perfect resolution to the problem as…

Elderly Neighbour Given ASBO For Causing Excess Noise
Noisiness between neighbouring homes has become a growing problem in the UK. When you hear stories about noise-related disputes you automatically presume that the issue has been caused by people of a young age, however this is not necessarily the case!
An 87 year old woman in Hampshire has been handed with an ASBO (Anti-Social Behaviour Order) after being found guilty of causing severe disruption over the past 13 months. Georgina Sims was reported by her neighbours for playing loud music on her radio and banging her walking stick on the wall to try and drown out ringing in her ears caused by tinnitus. The ASBO was issued upon Mrs Sims as she and her family had previously been warned by the local authority.

Soundproof Your Home In Time For Festival Season
The festival season is almost upon us. Although there is no Glastonbury this year, the festival roster still includes the following: Download, V Festival, Reading and Leeds, Bestival and Kendal Calling, not to mention The Stone Roses long-awaited reformation at Heaton Park in Manchester.
For thousands of music revellers, for one, two or three days, it is the perfect opportunity to see and hear all their favourite bands in the great outdoors. For several thousand others, particularly those who live nearby, it could be a living nightmare unless they sound proof their property in time for the summer season.
Rather than leave it up until the last minute to make sure that your home is adequately prepared for such noise, now is the time to…

Keep It Down By Soundproofing Your Home
Working hours in the UK are as considerable as any other country in Europe. With living costs as high as ever before, many of us have to extend our normal working hours in order to make ends meet which means doing over-time and taking whatever work we can get. This means that thousands of us get very little spare time and when we do we will often spend it at home.
When you get home after a long hard day you expect to be able to chill out on the sofa or go to bed without any form of disruption. This is unfortunately very rarely the case!
There are an increasing number of noisy neighbourhoods within the UK. Some put it down to the fact…

Oxford Restaurant Told To Hush
Yet another story has appeared in the press regarding the issue of noise. Hi-Lo, a Jamaican bar and restaurant in Oxford has lost its licence to play live music for up to 3 months after complaints were received from local neighbours. Instead, they have been told that they can play music at a level that does not require a licence.
The proprietor’s claim that this judgement has resulted in the whole atmosphere of the restaurant being affected as the playing of music at a higher level is an important attribute of the business and has been for the last 32 years.
This is one of many stories that seem to pop up in news feeds on a daily basis all with the same issue at…
