(DNAINFO) William Mathis | February 22, 2016 —  New York State Comptroller, Thomas DiNapoli, put a new survey online to learn about city noise.

Loud music, construction and sirens are just a few of the city sounds that New York State Comptroller, Thomas P. DiNapoli, wants New Yorkers to tell him about in a new noise survey available online Monday.

“By noise, we mean sound that you do not want to hear,” the New York State Comptroller’s Office clarified in the introduction to the survey that the comptroller hopes will help the state government better understand where and how noise affects New York City residents.

“Noise is a fact of life in New York City, but it is one of New Yorkers’ most common complaints,” DiNapoli said in a press release. “Taking this short survey will help us better understand where problems are and how well they are being addressed.”

Already, 46 percent of New Yorkers say they complain to their neighbors about making too much noise, according to a separate survey released Monday by search engine Homes.com. But neighbors are just one source of noise that New York residents can now officially gripe about.

The comptroller’s survey, which takes about 15 minutes to complete and is anonymous, asks participants to check off each noise they hear in their neighborhood, when the offending noise usually occurs and how those noises affect their lives.
