US EditionWhat time does a neighbour's loud music have to stop in the UK?
- The Noise Act 1996 sets night hours from 11pm to 7am, regulating maximum noise levels in England and Wales during this time.
- Loud music after 11pm is not technically illegal, but it enables councils to take action more easily by issuing notices and fines.
- Councils may issue noise notices if complaints arise, allowing fines if disturbances continue, while police handle noise from public spaces as anti-social behaviour.
- According to guidance from the Scottish Government under the 2004 legislation addressing antisocial conduct, noise levels between 11pm and 7am must not exceed 31dB, provided the background noise remains at or below 21dB.
- Citizens Advice advises resolving loud music disputes informally by speaking to neighbours before involving councils or police, who can be contacted on 101 but not via 999.
