Melbourne is a fantastic place to live because of proximity to shops, restaurants, transport, employment and entertainment. But if you are considering moving to live in the central city, it is important to think about the sounds generated by these activities.
Sound and noise
Noise may be defined as unwanted or undesirable sound. Noise is not the same for all people - sounds that are acceptable to some may be intolerable to others.
Noise is often associated with sounds such as garbage collection, construction and traffic, but can include people speaking, spruikers and music from neighbours or licensed premises.
