How do I describe noise honestly?

Published October 1, 2026 · 1 minute read

The answer

Describe observable conditions and relevant timing without unsupported assurances. A nearby venue, shared wall, or road may affect some guests more than others. Avoid promising silence if you cannot control the surroundings.

Clear information helps guests assess whether the property fits their needs. Pair disclosure with practical measures you actually provide rather than language that minimizes a known issue.

This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
