- neighbours walking around their home as part of the normal use of their home
- domestic activities, such as vacuuming or using washing machines, that are being carried out in a reasonable and considerate manner
- noise from children playing
- parking disagreements
- one-off incidents of noise nuisance
- disputes on social media
- DIY
- cooking odours
- one-off parties
- barking dogs (for short periods of time)
