A noise entry is described by type of the nuisance, starting with neighbours not sticking to periods of rest regulations, through to the construction side across the street. If this nuisance was not there before you moved in your flat, the value of your flat is decreasing. The tenant has the right to claim compensatory measures in monetary form. When it comes to acute nuisance, the tenant has to take measures, e.g. interrupting working, closing windows, or even leaving the flat. At this point you should add a noise entry in this app. The actual time is saved straightaway. Subsequently add the duration of the nuisance. Additionally you can select a witness right from your contacts, who can confirm the nuisance. With an extra feature of this app you can get the signature of the witness to complete his/her testimony, which is appended to the protocol automatically. In case that you are already keep the minutes in another protocol, you can import the entries through a variable template. Please keep in mind that you are not allowed to redurce your rent by yourself without a legally binding arrangement. Inform yourself about the legal basis, browse the internet or apply to your lawyer. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, suggestions or criticism.

Keep the noise diary that councils, landlords and lawyers ask for. Noise Log turns a disturbing neighbor into clear, timestamped evidence you can actually use. When the noise starts, tap Log incident now. Noise Log captures the time, measures an estimated sound level, runs a duration timer, and lets you record what kind of noise it was and how it affected you. Everything is saved on your device. WORKS EVERYWHERE, NO COUNCIL SUBSCRIPTION NEEDED Most noise apps are tied to one city or council. Noise Log is not. Whether you rent or own, and wherever you live, you keep your own record and decide who to send it to. ONE TAP TO LOG AN INCIDENT - Live sound-level meter with a clear recording indicator - Automatic timestamp and duration timer - Categories: music and bass, stomping, shouting and parties, dog barking, construction, machinery, street noise - Impact tags councils look for: woke me up, could not sleep, could not work from home, child woken, had to leave home - Notes, source and location - Backdated manual entry for incidents you did not log live - Quiet-hours flagging (default 22:00 to 07:00) marks night-time disturbances SEE THE PATTERN - Calendar heatmap of every incident - Weekday-by-hour heatmap and incidents-per-week trend - Breakdowns by noise type and by impact TURN YOUR LOG INTO EVIDENCE - Professional PDF evidence report: incident table with sound levels, durations and quiet-hours flags, summary statistics, charts, and an integrity page with device details and a fingerprint for every entry - Prefilled complaint letters tailored to your country and to your landlord, council or building manager - CSV export for a solicitor or adjudicator - Escalation action tracker for emails, report numbers and references RECORD NOISE, NOT CONVERSATIONS Your written log and sound-level readings are legal to keep everywhere. Audio clips are optional and are for noise only. In some places, such as Germany (StGB section 201), recording private speech is illegal. Recording only ever runs in the foreground with a visible indicator. There is no background or hidden recording, and everything stays on your device.

Premium unlocks unlimited PDF reports, complaint letter templates, unlimited photo, audio and video attachments, pattern analytics, CSV export and the action tracker. Premium is available as a one-time lifetime unlock, or as a weekly subscription with a 3-day free trial, or an annual subscription. Noise Log helps you organise and present your own records.
