Modeled estimates for general information only — not measurements, not a guarantee, and not for legal, medical or real-estate decisions.
In Los Angeles County the agency that takes a neighbor-noise complaint depends on the city. This page lists the cities whose official pages we read, with who to call, the number and the date checked. In the City of Los Angeles call 877-ASK-LAPD; in unincorporated areas see the Sheriff’s station list; in any other city, call the city.
Last verified: ; each row shows the date its page was read. Each row comes from the official page linked in it. Phone numbers and rules change, so confirm on the city’s page before you call. Quiet LA is not an agency and cannot take a complaint.
How do I find who handles a noise complaint where I live?
- City of Los Angeles: the LAPD non-emergency line, 877-ASK-LAPD (877-275-5273), for a party or loud music, and the LAPD Noise Enforcement Team for early or late construction. See who to call about noise in Los Angeles.
- A city with its own police or code enforcement: the city. Use the table below for the cities we have read; for any other city, LA County Public Health says to call the city and ask to make a noise complaint.
- Unincorporated LA County: Public Health for a business, construction or demolition, (626) 430-5201; for other noise, your local police department, usually a Sheriff’s station.

What if a city’s own pages give two different numbers?
Where one city’s official pages disagree, both are shown here with their own source and date, and neither is picked for you. Confirm with the City before you call.
| City | What the page says | Number | Official page and date checked |
|---|---|---|---|
| Inglewood | Use 310-412-8771 for non-emergency calls, such as disturbances like loud music | (310) 412-8771 | City of Inglewood: Communications DivisionChecked |
| Inglewood | To reach City Hall by phone, use Police Non Emergency 310-300-1515 | (310) 300-1515 | City of Inglewood: Temporary Phone Lines (Office of Emergency Management)Checked |
These are the City of Inglewood’s two police non-emergency numbers: the Communications Division page says to use the first for non-emergency calls such as loud music, and a separate City page listing temporary phone lines prints the second. Confirm with the City.
Which cities’ pages do not say who takes noise complaints?
For these cities we read the official pages below on 24 October 2026 (and, for Culver City, Palmdale, El Monte and Santa Fe Springs, on 21 October) and none says who handles a noise complaint, so no number is listed and the County line applies: call the city and ask to make a noise complaint. They are in alphabetical order: Burbank, Compton, Culver City, Downey, El Monte, Glendale, Lancaster, Palmdale, Pomona and Santa Fe Springs. A police non-emergency number on one of these pages is for police response in general, not a statement that the line takes noise complaints.
Who handles noise complaints in unincorporated Los Angeles County?
LA County Public Health investigates noise from businesses, construction and demolition in unincorporated areas, at (626) 430-5201, under Title 12, Chapter 12.08 of the County Code. For other noise, such as loud music or a party, the County says to call your local police department, which in unincorporated communities is usually a Sheriff’s station. The Sheriff’s station list gives each station’s address and phone number. Public Health also posts a temporary change to the County noise ordinance for construction hours; see the noise ordinance and construction hours.
My city is not on this list. What do I do?
Use the city’s own website, or call its main number and ask to make a noise complaint; the city should direct you to the right department. Quiet LA lists a city only after reading its official page, and it does not guess a number. Each city also has its own rules; see the noise ordinance and construction hours. Cities with their own page on Quiet LA are in noise by area.
What about airports, helicopters and freeways?
Those have their own contacts, whichever city you are in: see airport noise in Los Angeles County and helicopter noise, and for freeways, Caltrans in who to call about noise in Los Angeles.
The map shows modeled road, train and aircraft sources near an address, which is background for a complaint, not proof. It does not model parties, construction or neighbors. See Limits, How it’s made and Sources & methods.
