Noisy neighbours, we’ve all had one - but some streets in Glasgow are much worse than others - with that in mind we asked Glasgow City Council for information on the streets in Glasgow with the most noise complaints.
GlasgowWorld submitted a Freedom of Information request for domestic noise complaints in Glasgow.
The council could not offer full details on non-domestic noise complaints not related to people’s homes, but informed us that in the last four years, over 100 people have complained about the noise levels of ice cream vans - 3 have lodged a noise complaint in 2023, 47 issued a complaint in 2022, 42 complaints in 2021, and 29 complaints in 2020 - for a total of 121 noise complaints about ice cream truck chimes.
