Neighborhood noise

A beautiful environment, well-kept gardens, clean paths, and renovated houses all contribute to everyone's well-being. Unfortunately, these activities often come with noise disturbances. Neighborhood noise is a frequent cause of conflict, and it is no different here in Gemmelaincourt or in France in general.

If your neighbor's noise bothers you, direct dialogue is the first step. Most of the time, the disturbance is unintentional, and the person is not aware that they are causing a problem. Address the situation calmly and politely to find a solution.

If you yourself are planning gardening or DIY work, it is essential to observe the rules regarding times for noisy activities in order to maintain a good neighborhood.

Times for Noisy Work

DIY or gardening work carried out with noisy tools is only permitted at the following times:

Weekdays: from 8:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Saturdays: from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Sundays and public holidays: from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

These rules apply to noise from equipment such as lawnmowers, chainsaws, drills, planers, circular saws, compressors, motor pumps, concrete mixers, etc

Regarding Dog Barking

Pets, such as dogs, do not know fixed times. As an owner, it is your responsibility to take the necessary measures to ensure that their barking does not become a nuisance to your neighbors.

We ask you to respect the times for noisy work and the well-deserved peace of your neighbors. The Gemmelaincourt municipality and your neighborhood will be grateful to you.
