About

Noise Action Week gives everyone involved in managing noise problems the opportunity to focus public and media attention on the problems excessive noise can cause for us all – at home, at work, at study and at leisure.

Noise Action Week is an annual initiative coordinated by Environmental Protection UK, a charity supported by pollution control professionals which has been working for a cleaner, quieter, healthier world since 1898.

It provides an opportunity for local authorities, housing providers, mediation services and all those involved in neighbourhood noise management to raise awareness of services available and promote practical solutions.

Each year we encourage local authorities, housing providers, mediation services and all those involved in neighbourhood noise management to engage their local community in reducing every day noise by:

  • Highlighting the problems noise disturbance can cause
  • Promoting practical solutions to noise problems
  • Promote communication and consideration between neighbours
  • Informing communities of noise-related services available
  • Educating and informing noise makers and noise sufferers about noise reduction
  • Encouraging everyone to take a quiet moment to consider the noises they make

Our events page has plenty of examples of events organised in previous years to help you organize yours.
