Road Traffic Noise

The Council cannot take action about general noise from vehicles on the road. This includes moving and parked vehicles. However it may be possible to deal with alarms, horns, or music coming from vehicles on the road.

It is not usually possible to deal with one-off events or moving vehicles with noisy stereos, although if a complaint is received along with vehicle registration details, we may contact the owner and provide general advice.

Where noise from a new or substantially altered road causes increased levels of interference to residents, grants may be available to provide sound insulation. For further information please contact a member of Kent Highway services

Phone Kent County Council contact centre on: 08458 247 800.

Excessive noise from the engine of an individual identifiable vehicle may be controlled by the Motor Vehicles (Construction and Use) regulations which are administered by the Police.
