None of us were shocked to learn that NYC is the noisiest city in the U.S., but which neighborhoods helped our favorite place earn this superlative? We’ll break it down for you.

Whether it comes to congestion, nightlife, or just regular ol’ business as usual in the city that never sleeps, things can get hectic. According to public 311 data gathered by The New York Times, certain locales received more noise complaints than others, so plan accordingly if you’re thinking about a move in the near future.

Noisiest NYC neighborhoods, according to 311 data

In 2024, a whopping 10% of noise complaints came from the Bronx, particularly District 12, with a total of 73,014 complaints. Considering the second contender only earned roughly 32,000 calls, we’d say things are certainly busy in our northern borough!

According to the data, here are the nabes with the greatest number of noise complaints last year:

  • Bronx District 12: Edenwald, Wakefield, Williamsbridge, Woodlawn, Fish Bay, and Eastchester with 73,014 calls
  • Manhattan District 12: Washington Heights and Inwood with 31,982 calls
  • Manhattan District 7: Manhattan Valley, Upper West Side, and Lincoln Square with 26,369 calls
  • Manhattan District 10: Central Harlem with 24,059 calls
  • Brooklyn District 1: Williamsburg and Greenpoint, Flushing Avenue, Northside, and Southside with 21,365 calls
  • Bronx District 4: Highbridge, Concourse, Mount Eden, and Concourse Village with 19,944 calls
  • Manhattan District 3: Tompkins Square, East Village, Lower East Side, Chinatown, and Two Bridges with 19,588 calls
  • Bronx District 7: Norwood, University Heights, Jerome Park, Bedford Park, Fordham, and Kingsbridge Heights with 18,550 calls
  • Brooklyn District 4: Bushwick with 17,885 calls
  • Queens District 10: Howard Beach, Ozone Park, South Ozone Park, and Richmond Hill with 17,145 calls
