The Noise App Premium — Perth & Kinross Council share their views . . .

Here at Perth & Kinross Council we have been using The Noise App since early 2020.

Initially we purchased The Noise App with a view to using it as a triage tool, but then Covid arrived and changed everything. Due to lockdown restrictions, The Noise App became our ‘go to' tool for assessing noise complaints. 

The Noise App became so useful that it was rolled out across our Environmental Health & Housing Teams as well as our Safer Communities Team. In 2023, following successful use of the original Noise App, we took the decision to sign up for The Noise App 2 and subscribe for a Premium package, which gives us greater control. 

Another benefit of the Premium version of The Noise App 2 is the ability to allow longer recording times. This is beneficial to us as the 30-second limit was quite restricting for some of our clients. The ability to allow photographs and video recordings to be submitted as part of an evidential package is also very useful to us.

Overall we are very happy with The Noise App 2 and find it to be much more user friendly than the original version.

With thanks to Donald Strawson, Safer Communities Supervisor at Perth & Kinross Council.
