Frequently asked questions

Open the main map, click on the location where you experienced the noise, select the noise type, level and time of day, and optionally describe the situation. Your report will be sent for moderation before it appears on the public map.

No. NoiseMap is a civic data project and does not replace legal complaints to the police, city administration or other authorities. It visualises the problem and supports public discussion with better data.
