Last year in Peterborough there were hundreds of complaints about noises made to the city council.
The wrong sound at the wrong time can drive people up the wall – no matter what the intentions were.
We submitted a Freedom of Information request to the city council asking what sounds had the most complaints issued about them.
These are the most complained about sounds in Peterborough – in reverse order.
