depends on the council and their resources

Was partly involved in one a few years back.

Started with letters from council to perpetrators and asking complainant to keep a noise diary.

Then advised complainant to call out of hrs noise service (may not exist everywhere now). Trick was to get officers to your home to witness a "statutory nuisance". If caught and deemed bad enough legal notice served. Then trick is to catch any breach.

May also install noise equipment in home to try and record breach.

Unfortunately can be long process and whilst can lead to fines and seizure of equipment, rarely gets that far.

Nb this advice relevant five years ago in another part of country.
