How this category is extracted
What counts as noise: Noise complaints of all kinds: residential parties, commercial venues, construction, traffic, aircraft, and barking dogs.
In New York City’s raw 311 feed, the following 5 service_type values roll into noise:
- Noise
- Noise - Commercial
- Noise - Residential
- Noise - Street/Sidewalk
- Noise - Vehicle
To reproduce these counts against the raw feed
SELECT count(*)
FROM <new_york_city_311_raw>
WHERE service_type IN (
'Noise',
'Noise - Commercial',
'Noise - Residential',
'Noise - Street/Sidewalk',
'Noise - Vehicle'
)Analyst tip: NYC dominates this category with the four 'Noise - *' variants (Residential, Commercial, Street/Sidewalk, Vehicle) plus the bare 'Noise' type. Calgary uses 'Bylaw - Noise Concerns' and 'Bylaw - Disturbance and Behavioural Concerns'. Chicago has a dedicated 'Aircraft Noise Complaint' worth noting if you're analyzing airport-adjacent neighborhoods.
