noise complaint
Neighbor's loud protest
A noise complaint is a formal or informal report to authorities—typically police or building management—that someone is making excessive noise.
The term usually implies residential disturbances: loud music, barking dogs, late-night parties.
The neighbors called in a noise complaint about our gathering.
Filing one often feels like an escalation, skipping direct conversation for official intervention.
