How to deal with persistent neighbour noise?
Start by speaking directly with the neighbour; if that fails, complain to the building management or owners' association; noise that violates the Noise Law or disturbs public order can be reported to the police.
Recommended steps for neighbour noise: (1) **Talk directly** — most cases resolve with a friendly conversation, especially if the neighbour is unaware; (2) **Complain to the building management / owners' association** — under the Condominium Management Law they have a duty to address disputes between residents and can issue warnings; (3) **Report to the police** — persistent noise during the restricted hours (10 pm to 8 am) breaches the Noise Law (Law 8/2014) and can be reported to the police; (4) **Civil action** — victims can sue for an injunction and damages for pain and suffering; keep audio, video, and witness evidence.
