Unwanted noise does more than affect our concentration and ability to work from home, it can also affect our sleep and mood. For a fast-growing population city like Perth, noise is inevitable particularly for residents in Duncraig in the city’s north and Victoria Park in the southeast. Noise complaints in Perth range from roadside traffic, aircraft, and even basketball courts.

With the holiday season approaching, we would like to thank all your continued support throughout the year.

As the city of Melbourne emerges out of lockdown, noise in the inner suburbs has been increasing dramatically with traffic resuming back to normal. Over the past 18 months, Melburnians have become used to quiet streets, short travel times, and an overall ‘sound-proofed’ life. This increased quietness has allowed people to achieve better sleep quality, relaxation, and enjoy ‘quarantining’ at home (for the most part). 

Research shows that lockdown traffic would have been up to 70% less than it was pre-pandemic, meaning the total amount of noise from roads was significantly lower. Air traffic was also down by approximately 70%, meaning those who lived close to airports or under flight paths have enjoyed a quieter home for the past 18 months.  

While most residents are enjoying their re-found freedoms, many still wish parts of lockdown such as the low noise levels and shorter commuting times remained.

If you’ve lived in Perth, it’s you may have experienced a night of disturbed sleep due to the booming of music, sirens or revving engines. As Western Australia has phased out several COVID-19 restrictions, the state has become a desirable location for young families and those looking to enjoy life’s simple pleasures, with many setting their sights on the state capital, Perth. 

Some of the exciting things that attract people to live in Sydney is the city’s iconic beauty, the hustle and bustle of everyday life and its vibrant lifestyle. While this charm pulls many into staying long term, it quickly fades when you can’t keep the city’s, loud vibrant lifestyle out of your home. Sydney is without a doubt Australia’s largest capital city, but that doesn’t mean its residents should be up all night dealing with noise.
