Noise from neighbours banging as they go about their normal lives (such as cupboard doors or children playing) are unlikely to be able to be controlled by resorting to the law.
However, if excessive or the cause is unreasonable it is possible that this activity could cause a statutory nuisance within the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
It is also possible that the noise is causing tenancy or letting conditions to be breached (if the house in question is not in owner occupation) or that there is a breach of the property's covenants.
Other legal provision which may be applicable are common law nuisance and section 82 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
Both of these allow individuals to take their own legal action and may offer a more speedy remedy than we can offer using our powers under the Environmental Protection Act 1990.
We would advise you to speak to your neighbours in the first instance. They may be unaware of the degree of disturbance they are causing.

Report
Before you make a formal complaint we strongly recommend you read our guidance notes on making a complaint.
Having read the guidance notes, make your complaint online by using the nuisance form or make your complaint by letter, telephone or email.
We will need to know exactly where the activity is taking place and when it may be witnessed by our officers.
Any other information would be helpful. We would also advise you to make a complaint to the owner of the property from which the disturbance emanates if it is occupied by a tenant.
