Everywhere I read, I see the words quiet enjoyment being used. In tenancy agreements, in strata by laws, in the law. There are no exceptions, no times where noise is allowed (as with single dwelling houses).

 

So with all that emphasis on quiet your rights for a quiet environment outweigh anyone's rights to cause a disturbance of any kind.

 

All the arguments regarding drumming, children, parties, loud music are rendered mute as your right to quiet supersedes any other right. I have never seen a clause that states anyone has a right to make a reasonable amount of noise. The other key clause that exists is the obligation not to disturb your neighbours.

 

This means any time anything disturbs you, you have the right to ask for it to be stopped, and they have the obligation to stop it. No ifs, no buts.

 

I see all these arguments by people saying its reasonable, its not that loud, that it is only once off, etc. But if you are being affected by it, you have the right to have it stopped, they do not have the right to make any disturbance than infringes upon you.
