Noise Code

The New York City Noise Code balances the important reputation of New York as a vibrant, world-class city that never sleeps, with the needs of those who live in, work in, and visit the city.

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Police Department (NYPD) share the duties of enforcing the Noise Code. To submit a noise complaint, call or contact 311, or you can file a noise complaint online. The appropriate agency will receive your service request. You can find the resolution of the service request using 311 service request status.
