Oldham Council does not investigate certain types of noise that are considered part of normal daily living. Here are the specific types of noise they will not consider for investigation:
| Type of Noise |
|---|
| Domestic appliance noise (e.g., vacuum cleaner, washing machines) |
| Moving furniture |
| Children playing/running up and down the stairs |
| Dropping objects |
| Intermittent banging/slamming of doors |
If you believe a noise may be a nuisance, it's best to first approach the person causing the noise directly to resolve the issue amicably.
