After a long, exhausting day at work, it's immensely irritating to return home to disruptive noises from neighbors or nearby construction sites. Fortunately, you're not alone in managing this issue. You have the option to file a report to prevent such disturbances from recurring. Here's a guide on how to file a noise complaint in various emirates:
Dubai: You can report construction noise in Dubai from 8pm to 6am on weekdays and from 8pm to 7am on weekends. To do this, download the 'Dubai Municipality' app, select 'Services', scroll to 'Building and Construction', and choose 'Report Construction Noise'. Upload a video or picture along with a brief description of the noise, pinpoint your location on the map, and proceed. The complaint should be resolved within one working day. Note that this service isn't available in private compounds or gated communities; you'll need to contact your neighborhood developer for such cases. Additionally, you can report any noise exceeding 55 decibels, such as a barking dog or loud music, by emailing info@dm.gov.ae, calling 800900 (municipality) or 901 (Dubai Police).
Abu Dhabi: In Abu Dhabi, file a noise complaint via tamm.abudhabi by clicking 'Support', then 'File a Complaint'.
