Summer Noise

Summer Noise
Tuesday 20 November 2007 10:00pm - 10:30pm on ITV1.

42% of the British population are upset about it, half a million moved house last year because of it and six people a year are even killed over arguments about it.

It’s noise in our neighbourhoods and ITV have acquired access to several dedicated council environmental units to show exactly how the "Noise Police" are fighting back.

During the six week-long Edinburgh Festival it’s not just the population of Edinburgh that increases dramatically, the workload of Edinburgh’s ‘Noise Police’ follows suit.

In Programme Three, Edinburgh’s Noise Officers visit the home of a woman so besieged by noise from festival venues that she has been reduced to doing her sewing in the only quiet room in the house – her bathroom.
