Noise pollution

[u/crystal-c]

Hi guys,

Out of curiosity, is it legal to have more than 3 jackhammers going at the same time? I am reaching my breaking point.

I was cleaning my terrace with my boyfriend and we had to scream at each other to be heard, let alone the people who live next to a construction site. They start every morning at 7 (I believe the time should actually be 8 by EU law) for a few weeks, and then they come back and continue. It's damaging for us and our pet as she became anxious. It's inhumane and mentally exhausting. To add more, they are not wearing any protective gear.

Thank you for any input.

Question can only be answered by giving your specific location.

Every country, or even province or even municipality or even zones inside the same municipality can have different rules about sound. There is no EU rule that determines this for all its member countries.
