YOUR PERSONAL NOISE DIARY
Too much noise.
A little more clarity.
When disturbances keep happening, the details matter. NoiseNote helps you organise a diary of what happened, when, and how it affected you.
We’re rebuilding NoiseNote. The Play link opens the currently published version; the refreshed app is still being tested.

FROM DISTURBANCE TO DIARY
Make the details
easier to follow.
You don’t need to remember everything at once. A useful diary brings your observations together over time.
Note what happened.
Record the date, time and type of disturbance. Describe what you actually heard, and leave uncertain details unknown.
Add the context.
Explain where you heard it and how it affected you. A short recording can add context; its length isn’t the full disturbance duration.
Prepare to share.
Keep a chronological record for a conversation with your landlord, housing provider or council. Check their submission instructions first.
YOUR DIARY, YOUR CHOICE
A website for information.
Your evidence stays with you.
This site doesn’t accept recordings, complaint reports or evidence uploads. NoiseNote’s diary records are stored on your phone; you choose when to save or share reports.

Before you begin.
NoiseNote is an independent diary tool. Here’s what that means for your records.
Does NoiseNote send a complaint to my council?
No. Keeping a diary or exporting a report does not submit a complaint. Contact your council or housing provider and follow their instructions.
Will my council accept a NoiseNote report?
Requirements vary. Ask what dates, details, forms and file formats they need. A diary or recording does not guarantee acceptance, an investigation or a particular outcome.
Is a phone a certified sound-level meter?
NoiseNote’s microphone display is approximate. It should not be treated as a calibrated decibel measurement. Focus on your observations and their effect on you.
