Noise incident log
This page is not on the public site yet.
Write down the date, the start and stop times, and what you heard. The entries are saved in this browser, on this device. They are not sent to us, and there is no account. If you refresh the page, they should still be here.
A log is useful because a landlord, an HOA or a city office often asks when it happened and how long it lasted. Fort Worth's animal noise page asks for a complaint log of 7 to 10 days. El Paso's noise complaint form asks for the date, the times and how long it lasted. Portland's noise office asks for the dates and times too. Those links are on the guide to documenting noise.
Print the list or download a PDF if you want a copy to attach to a complaint letter. Clearing this site's data in the browser deletes the log. A different phone or browser will not have it.
This is not legal advice. The log is what you typed. It is not a reading from a certified meter. The iPhone app is the place for a decibel estimate and for vibration.
No incidents yet. Add one while you can still hear it, or right after.
Questions
Where is the log saved?
In this browser, on this device. We do not receive the entries. There is no account.
Will it still be here after I refresh?
Yes, unless you clear this site's data in the browser, use a private window that drops data on close, or switch browsers or devices.
Can I attach it to a complaint?
Yes. Print the log or download a PDF and send that with your letter. It is a record of what you wrote down, not a finding by the city.
Not legal advice.
