| Equipment noise | All day long | Article 52 |

1.Friendly communication: Prepare the decibel detection APP to record data, and choose non-rest time to come to the house for negotiation. The latest survey shows that 68% of cases are resolved through communication.
2.Property mediation: Submit a written complaint to the property management company (must include specific time, noise type, and degree of impact) and request the issuance of a "Rectification Notice."
3.Administrative complaints: Dial 12369 environmental protection hotline or 110 to call the police. Please note that more than 3 consecutive police reports are required before a case can be filed.

5.Technical protection: Install soundproof windows (plastic steel material of C35 or above is recommended) and lay soundproof carpets (recommended thickness of 8mm or above). These measures can reduce noise by 15-20 decibels.
