2. Noise from car audio systems

It is possible that noise from car audio systems could cause a statutory nuisance within the provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 - but this is unlikely.

However, there are circumstances under which this activity is a direct offence under section 62 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974.

We will need to know exactly where the activity is taking place, when it may be witnessed by our officers and any other information you can provide.
