The only interesting article I read in the newspapers yesterday was about noisy neighbours. It seems that many people, myself included, get woken up regularly by things that go bump in the night. Apparently door slamming and heavy clumping footsteps are two of the major offenders. People running down the stairs can sound like a herd of elephants.
The article mentioned loud music and pets as other major sources of noise. It seems that people can be quite inconsiderate. Another source of noise pollution increasingly mentioned is from people leaving pubs and clubs.
Our city council has allowed an increased number of pubs in residential areas, and now, they have a policy of granting later licenses. They appear to think it is unreasonable of us to want a good night’s sleep.
