Regardless of existing community noise standards, establishing a case often involves more than measuring the volume, duration, or intensity of sound entering a property.

It may also require demonstrating how the noise affects the use and enjoyment of the property, such as the ability to open windows, use outdoor spaces, or sleep at night.

A psychologist or other qualified health professional may provide research-based analysis or testimony describing the potential adverse effects of noise exposure and may assist in interpreting noise measurements as they relate to a specific case.

Affidavits or depositions from other affected neighbors may also be used to help document the broader impact of the noise issue.
