About us
Neighbour Noise Control is descended from the consultancy “BurenlawaaiNu” in the Netherlands. Due to the success with analysing and carrying out checks on noise nuisances, this company has expanded abroad under the name Neighbour Noise Control. BurenlawaaiNu’s success in the Netherlands stems from its innovative approach to managing noise complaints with precision and professionalism. After its establishment, the company swiftly built a reputation for delivering reliable solutions to one of the most common but challenging problems faced by Housing Associations and landlords alike: neighbour noise complaints.
By using advanced acoustic measurement tools and expert analysis, BurenlawaaiNu developed a methodology to objectively determine whether neighbour noise complaints constituted actual disturbances under legal and social standards. This approach allowed them to identify genuine cases of noise nuisance while also addressing instances where noise levels were within acceptable limits but still perceived as bothersome.
The company’s services provided Housing Associations and Local Authorities with tools to uphold their obligations to tenants, such as ensuring a peaceful living environment, without descending into subjective disputes. BurenlawaaiNu’s core offering, which includes Noise Nuisance Recorders and professional acoustic reports, empowered Housing Associations and Local Authorities to resolve complaints effectively and maintain positive relationships with their tenants.
Under the international brand “Neighbour Noise Control,” the company expanded its operations outside the Netherlands, solidifying its reputation as a leader in noise complaint resolution. Their success highlights the growing importance of data-driven and professional noise management services for maintaining harmonious living environments.
