Common types of nuisance noise
Building and vehicle alarms
If the same alarm keeps going off this may qualify as nuisance noise, especially if it goes on for a long time and keeps people up late at night.
Noise from pubs and clubs
Pubs, clubs and other venues can contribute to nuisance noise by playing music too loud or later than their licence permits. This can be made worse by people talking loudly as they leave the venue or keeping the party going by turning up their vehicles’ music systems.
Construction sites
Construction companies and contractors must by law take all reasonable steps to control noise and work within certain times. If they want to work outside these times they must apply for a special permit from the local council.
Buskers
Busking refers to the performance of music, singing, dancing, or other forms of entertainment in public spaces, with the intention of receiving tips and donations from members of the public.
It can become intrusive and annoying for people who live, work or visit Lincoln, especially in the city centre. Usually this is because of loud, continuous or repetitive noise.
