Report Noise
Industrial noise can be difficult to investigate when individual incidents are reported separately or without a clear record of when they occurred.
Noise Pollution UK provides a simple way for residents to record industrial noise events and contribute to a shared body of evidence.
You can submit a report while the noise is happening, shortly after it stops or later when convenient.
Worcester Sewage Treatment Works
Residents living near Severn Trent’s Worcester Sewage Treatment Works can report recurring industrial noise associated with the site, including humming, droning, whining, siren-like noise and other unusual or persistent sounds.
Each report helps build a clearer picture of:
- when the noise occurs;
- how long it continues;
- the type of noise being experienced;
- which areas are affected;
- how frequently particular noise events recur.
Regularly affected by the noise?
If this is an ongoing problem for you, joining the Worcester campaign allows you to contribute detailed resident evidence. Your personal campaign links to our secured forms area will be sent to your verified email address after registration.

These additional forms help us understand not only individual noise events, but also the longer-term impact on local residents.
What your report contributes
Individual reports are combined with reports from other residents to help identify recurring patterns and build a structured evidence record.
Reports may help establish:
- dates and times when noise is occurring;
- recurring noise characteristics;
- approximate durations;
- locations where the noise is being experienced;
- changes in frequency or intensity over time;
- the effect of noise on residents in their homes.
The aim is to provide clear, consistent information that can support proportionate investigation and engagement with site operators, councils, regulators and other responsible organisations.
You do not need specialist equipment
You do not need a sound meter, specialist recording equipment or technical knowledge to submit a useful report.
A clear description of what you heard, when it occurred and how it affected you can make a valuable contribution to the evidence record.
Where possible, report incidents when they occur so that the campaign can build an accurate picture over time.
Stay involved
Your personal campaign links will be sent to your verified email address after registration and should not be forwarded to anyone else.
