🔊 The neighbours make noise every night — who do I call?

Direct answer

Talk first, once, calmly — it works more often than any authority. If it goes on, keep a noise diary (date, time, what, how long), then: for noise right now at night, the police non-emergency line Poliția — 112 / Poliția Locală (112) — not the emergency number. For a pattern, Proprietar / asociația de proprietari (infocons.ro) — the municipality enforces quiet hours and can fine. In rented buildings, tell the landlord or manager in writing; they must act. Primăria — Poliția Locală / Direcția de Mediu offers free neighbour mediation.

🗣️ What to say

"Since [date] there is loud [music/shouting/works] at [address] almost every night between [time] and [time]. I have spoken to them on [date] without result and kept a log. I request that you check and enforce the quiet hours."

🪜 Step by step

  1. One conversationDaytime, calm, specific: which nights, which hours. Many people have no idea how far sound travels.
  2. Keep a diaryDate, time, type, duration, and a short phone recording. Three weeks of entries make a case.
  3. Night, right now: Poliția — 112 / Poliția LocalăThe non-emergency line; officers can come, warn and fine. Do not use 112 for noise.
  4. A pattern: Proprietar / asociația de proprietariThe municipality applies the local quiet-hours rule and can impose fines or, for businesses, conditions.
  5. Mediation: Primăria — Poliția Locală / Direcția de MediuFree, voluntary, and surprisingly effective when both sides want to keep living there.

❓ Frequently asked

What are the quiet hours?

Typically 22:00–07:00 on weekdays, later on weekends, set by municipal by-laws; some countries add an afternoon rest. Proprietar / asociația de proprietari publishes the exact hours.

Can I get the neighbour evicted?

Only the landlord can, and only after documented, repeated disturbance despite warnings. Your diary and the police reports are what make that possible.

What about construction noise?

Works have their own hours (usually not at night or on Sundays) and permits; report to Proprietar / asociația de proprietari with the address.
